Fascinating discussion on poetry and borders at #cocopofest. National, class or gender-related -poetry can and should transcend them all, but at the same time celebrate the unique and particular. @CLDallat: It's the poetry that matters, not where you're from.

The brilliant Gerður Kristný reinvents Norse mythology in her reading from her book ‘Bloodhoof’! #cocopofest

[CoCoPoFest @cocopofest]

‘Things are not set in stone, things are carved in stone.’
Some brilliant poems read by Cahal Dallat from his books ‘Morning Star’ and ‘The Year of Not Dancing’. Looking forward to Gerður Kristný’s reading next! @CLDallat #CoCoPoFest

.@CLDallat making a strong case for Edwin Muir's view of Charles Causley - "He lives in a time of his own, but also in his own times" - and that his poetry will continue to live for people in the distant future.
