Yes, it is heartening that he is coming to people's attention. I agree with you that the reissuance of his Collected Poems is especially welcome. (I have been trying to track down an old copy for quite some time!) <br /><br />I am delighted to find that there are many of us who share an admiration for his work. Thank you again.Stephen Pentzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882220887712092005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010170380967519230.post-65007414336754229572010-05-20T14:51:33.174-07:002010-05-20T14:51:33.174-07:00It's good to see Tessimond being reappraised. ...It's good to see Tessimond being reappraised. The BBC programme was, I felt, rather superficial, focussing too much on his sexlife and too little on his other motivations. However, devoting a whole programme to him, along with the recent reissue of his Collected Poems, are encouraging signs.stephen fryerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436319241645524250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010170380967519230.post-6430635457312724312010-04-09T11:15:38.707-07:002010-04-09T11:15:38.707-07:00Nige: Thank you once more for visiting the blog an...Nige: Thank you once more for visiting the blog and for leaving a comment. And thank you indeed for the tip on the BBC programme on Tessimond - I will definitely listen to it, as well as to the other "Lost Voices" programmes. I am pleased to have been proved wrong: it seems that Tessimond is not in fact a "neglected poet"!Stephen Pentzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882220887712092005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010170380967519230.post-28133074509104024862010-04-09T05:47:27.526-07:002010-04-09T05:47:27.526-07:00Oddly enough, Brian Patten is presenting a program...Oddly enough, Brian Patten is presenting a programme on Tessimond this Sunday (4.30pm) on our BBC Radio 4 - perhaps you can get it online? It's the first of a series of 4 called Lost Voices, so it sounds like your kind of thing.Nigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13314891387515045404noreply@blogger.com
