As soon as I walked the familiar lecture theatre, there was a buzz in the
atmosphere; everyone who wanted to be there was there. My fellow-students weren't texting
under the desk but fully attentive to the postgraduates'
work. The witty, charismatic individuals in front of us gave us an
insight into what we could achieve.
Their work showed me that, at a reading, it's not just what you write, but
how you perform it that is the key to success. My favourite
moment was the ending of the poem based upon fictional prison
baths. The line "you shouldn't
believe everything we read" led
everyone to break out in laughter.
I thoroughly enjoyed work from all seven writers, and
look forward to hearing more from them soon.
