Back in December 2010, some 60 people gathered in our Arts Cafe to talk about the poetry and poetics of the year 1960 - 50 years later. They heard short presentations by various poets, each having written in effect a retrospective review of a book of poems published that year. Then there was a lively Q&A in the usual KWH style. The entire event was recorded; the presentations made available to us as typescripts; the Q&A was transcribed. New materials were added. Others wrote responses and additional retrospective reviews. And the whole thing - a big "feature" - was recently published in Jacket2. Go here and have a look at - and listen to - the feature.
