Mornings of Voice

I attended the whole 2008 affair, the festival was restful, invigorating & rich. As always. But I am choosing here one event only, 'The Poet's Breakfast'. A morning gathering of the voice speaking authetically into the mountains light, maintaining connections between the life lived locally and spoken of knowingly.

There are few living occasions like this. A moment when we sample the raw voice saying culture unaccompanied. When it appears on your patch you should attend and soak it up. There may be strains that cut across your sensitivities and tastes, but you need to be there to witness the speaking.

We should be thankful to the Festival that we are given this chance by so many poets and attendees to hear ourselves. Enjoy.
