I sort of knew #HenryNormal before he made a name for himself as a comedy writer for #SteveCoogan #CarolineAherne and others. Not well, but well enough to chat to. He probably won't remember me! I prefer my poetry live, so I can hear all the subtleties and intonations the poet had intended. I always feel my own interpretation to be somewhat flat. Having said that #NudeModelingForTheAfterlife is a lovely collection of poems from 1993. Published by the very excellent #BloodaxeBooks
