The World Poets series of lecture-performances-with-readings
 

W H Auden - A new lecture-performance with Graham Fawcett 

W H Auden was a giant among poets of his generation, a master-craftsman of metrical rhythms you can feel running like Swiss clockwork through his verse lines, and a wonderfully adventurous organist of the English language. Nourished by his Pennines childhood and the treasures of Anglo-Saxon and Middle English, traveller to Iceland, China, Spain and Berlin, close-quarters commentator on politics, religion, philosophy, art and human relations, Auden translated his gifted perceptions into some of the finest and most substantial poems England and the world have ever seen. 

“A complete delight of an evening leading so easily and lightly into the many differences in Auden's poetry, revealing in the depths of it the relevance to some of his life, talked of with such sympathetic knowledge - and love. Your reading of his poetry was a joy I long to experience again”. (Member of the audience at the Bridport Literary Festival, 11 Nov 2014)
