Poets Confer
MAGINATION, experience and ability combined to make a discussion on the reading of poetry by Charles Brasch, Basil Dowling and J. K. Baxter a memorable programme. It was, I felt, a masterpiece of planning. F. H. Rogers’s intelligent reading of Stephen Spender’s remarks, which apparently inspired the programme, led to a discussion by,the poets on the place of "interpretation" in the reading of poetry. Interpolated recorded poems _ illustrated the various points raised. The programme, which was in two parts, flowed smoothly, and was of sufficient length to cover its subject adequately, while the illustrative poems provided moments of unforgettable beauty.
