Each of the seven events for the Hardy Tree exhibition have been curated to have their own unique atmosphere. The dear world...reading was supposed to be a poetry reading, and true to what that means now, in London, in 2013, with this anthology, wonderful for many reasons, being an excuse, a locus around some of the people and things that are happening, that are exciting. It was that in the end, a good reading with good poets, who share certain ideas and outlooks on writing and on the experience of being a poet. It was nicely attended again, in the sweltering heat and as in each event before it, people were warm and friendly and generous.
