That’s me above, reading Kenneth White’s poems and eating a scrumptious macaroon brought by Steve Wasserman from the Read Me Something You Love project. If you don’t know this project, you are in for a treat. It was recently written up by the Sunday Times:

“The title says it all. Read Me Something You Love invites literary lovers to select a piece of writing which excites them. Steve Wasserman, then trundles around to your home with his mobile recording studio in an attempt to translate the pleasure of the reading aloud experience to a wider audience.”

You can listen to our conversation here. It was a fun afternoon, and as Steve was kind enough to say: “If proof be needed as to the pleasure and vivication of well-being that a couple of well-chosen poems read aloud and then discussed over a cup of tea and some macaroons can bring, this is all the proof I need.”
