Poetry Reading Session @ British Council...:

The Poetry Reading Session at the British Council today, was to start at Six. So we were all there in time, and Dr.Ganesh joined us here.

Miss. Patience Agbabi enthralled all of us by a lovely recitation of her poems. Some were personal, some were feminist, and some others added a racist slant to it.

But almost all the poems had a beat, excepting a handful which was in free verse.

The first thing she did was to transport Chaucer's Wife of Bath to a Nigerian Wife of Bath, to the delight of the audience.

She answered all the questions posed by the audience with elan, and some amongst us also fired questions at her.
