decorative bullet     Judy Gahagan Article: "Claiming the Poetry Heartlands"

response from Anne Boileau: "Dear Editor...

We at Suffolk Poetry Society are currently doing a once a month eco poetry course with Judy Gahagan. I have only now by chance stumbled upon this article, and it's very good. She is a fine tutor. We meet in an old water mill on the river Stour and have watched the seasons unfold through the spring and summer. We read poetry on a theme, workshop  our own, and sit in small groups around the garden exploring themes she has introduced;  after which, between meetings, we draw poems out of what we have talked about.

Her point about poetry being a subversive movement is spot on. And the fact that it does not make money, or gain a brash profile, is all to the good. Not consuming but making, and creating and sharing.

I just wanted to say, what a good article and thank you."
