Why should not old men be mad? Hear Peter Daniels, a pioneer of gay men's writing in the UK, brood on the emptiness of boxes, speculate on what those Cavalrymen are up to behind the locked doors, cope with Quixotic characters and, finally, bathe in the pure light of silent contemplation. All this from Old Men published by Salt in 2024.
Plus, we hear a little about Leland Bardwell, a perhaps neglected Irish poet and writer, and Timothy Gallagher, a writer of dramatic monologues. Peter and Robin also report back, hotfoot from the National Poetry Competition 2024 awards celebration.
