I've been a fan of radical dub poet #LintonKwesiJohnson since the late 70s, when I first heard #DreadBeatAndBlood so when I saw #TingsAndTimes in the library I thought I'd give it a read. Published in 1991 by the brilliant #BloodaxeBooks it's a collection of 24 poems. Turns out I have 21 of them in my record collection, so I thought I'd put a playlist together and listen whilst I read. Turns out that reading poetry whilst listening to the poet recite is quite a joy. I'll be doing it again.

I sort of knew #HenryNormal before he made a name for himself as a comedy writer for #SteveCoogan #CarolineAherne and others. Not well, but well enough to chat to. He probably won't remember me! I prefer my poetry live, so I can hear all the subtleties and intonations the poet had intended. I always feel my own interpretation to be somewhat flat. Having said that #NudeModelingForTheAfterlife is a lovely collection of poems from 1993. Published by the very excellent #BloodaxeBooks

‘Black Caiman with Butterflies’ from Mama Amazonica, with the sights in the Amazon rainforest, on the banks of the Tambopata River, that inspired the poem.

We went each Sunday for the mass
recited in my parent’s language
that wasn’t mine. The Gaelic gospelthat was just sound, pure sound, to me.
I rose and kneeled, and listened as
my people traded vowel for vowel…—Niall Campbell, “Tongues of Water”

In 5 days time I will be 69. Strange how I grew old before I grew up! Still feel like a child. To celebrate this scary age I’m going to celebrate 5 good things, one for each day to the big day. The first is one of my Tiger Girl poems on #poemsontheunderground yes on the Tube! #ecopoetry #TigerGirl @bloodaxebooks
