All the best to you and yours, David


Nathalie I miss your blog thoughts.
All the best to you and yours.

Aine MacAodha Hi David, just dropping in to say how much I'm enjoying your blogs, the latest is very informative, one learns something new everyday, well; me actually.


Nathalie I'm too far away to come to your reading, but I am looking forward to Letter 10 on your blog, David.


Anthony Greetings David! It's nice to see you here - gives me a chance to remind you how much I like Tears in the Fence. Cheers, Anthony


Matina Hello David!
It's great to be here and connect with you. I look forward to swiping some of your books--I'm well underread and need a sizeable library. ;-)

David Hi Nathalie and W,

Thank you both for your comments. I shall certainly check out Eduardo Galeano's Walking Words. Yes, it is the British poet, Allen Fisher.

Oh, I miss Compendium Bookshop in Camden Town too. I used spend hours in there talking, reading, meeting friends.


Nathalie David, have you read 'Walking Words' by Eduardo Galeano?

Nathalie Stop it W! David's blog is wild! Now I've just found his writing on John Gay's 'Trivia: Or, the Art of Walking the Streets of London' and it's not on good reads, (just like Allen Fisher isn't on Amazon or Abe's), but I found the text online here: http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/encap/skilto...

W.B. This is so synchronicity! I was looking for some Allen Fisher's poetry books (especially the one through Spectacular Diseases, UK0 and they didn't come up! He is a great poet...one of my favorite British poets...if we are talking about the same bloke...

Nathalie Hello David

I just read your interesting blog 'Letter 9' on Allen Fisher’s 'Place'. Being a 'citizen of Lambeth' myself, I am going to have to seek out the work. While I was a reading a young fox was calling from Myatt Fields.

Thank you for introducing me to a poet I'd never heard of - and for reminding me how much I miss Compendium Bookshop in Camden Town.
