David said "yes" to attending the event: Oxfam Christmas Poetry Fundraiser. date: December 02, 2008 07:00PM location: Oxfam Marylebone Books and Music, 91 Marylebone High Street, London, The United Kingdom description: I’ll be channelling Dickens (or maybe just Bill Murray in Scrooged) on Tuesday 2 December, when I’ll be appearing at a London fundraising event described as ‘8 Poets in 80 minutes’. Of course, if this were a haiku gathering, that tag line would read something more along the lines of ‘80 Poets in 8 minutes’ but enough about me. | |||
