Modron Magazine Interview with Robert Minhinnick
Congratulations Freya, this is wonderful <3
Nice survey and viewing in the morning before the 110th anniversary of the poet's birth has given it additional meaning. It's wonderful that the property has been so carefully restored; this was an important move and appreciation for the decision will, for many reasons, continue to grow. Thanks and best wishes to everyone involved.
Honoured to speak at this event, best of luck to all in CWC.
Jon, I was honoured to have been granted access to film at the 75th anniversary celebration, and your talk was particularly informative. Thank you.
Always love to hear your work my friend. Everything you write is always from the heart. Deep and meaningful through out..
Hi 'Zaru' it's your dad here , it's hell being cut off by you, please talk to me again, I won't live forever.
You need Richard Burton to read these poems.
Or Thomas himself, although his intonation can have an unneeded intonation
Really enjoyed this. Loved what you present here about nature not only as a concept but as a tactile thing to interact with and be part of that 'embodied point of view'. Well done Phil and Taz x
Really enjoyed this, looking forward to seeing more of you in the future xx
Really moving verse, also love the audience of birds for the review haha
Ah fabulous! My brother bought me this book for my birthday last week and I've just started reading it! Looking forward to seeing this launch video xx
Wow, really good introduction! Also read with passion. So talented. Thank you.
Loved listening and watch ing you perform your amazing poetry Laura! Benfdigedig! Hope you continuewith this work, you are a true poet!! Best wishes, Jacqui👌x
Great piece. A good balance between descibing what you do and showing us.
Relaxing and peaceful to listen , congrats on your achievements
brilliant poet but hit or miss sometimes probably due to drink .He left everything in afraid to edit what he might have left out when sober. Still one of the best of the century. Bless him, he had human failings.
Thanks David for your comment. Such brilliance is so often accompanied by other challenges. I guess we'd never know what kind of a poet Dylan could be if he could keep away from the bottle.
Interesting point about the poetry in the Irish passport!
Very interesting questions and answers!
Spicy and punchy!
Nice rhythm!
Nice background music to support the reading!
Excellent!
A crimson night!
The power of observing, and the limitations of language to explain experiences...
Powerful experiences!
A truly activists!
Da iawn!
Very interesting perspective from different attracted to verses ...
Very narrative, very detail!
Very interesting dialogues...
12:30 - always ask the night for permission to go out just in case it decides to give you a surprise.
Dylan goes into a bar says to all how you are then suddenly came a smack into his belly - it was a London 'iron' bar.
Welsh wasn't a thing one did when ambitioned surrounded by English polite bigoted... society then.
I share his health West Wallian constitution, hilled. Oh dear Gwalia...
Very interesting thank you. Always fascinating to hear from Jim.
Tanks very much Andrew for taking the time to watch.
The movie she's referring to at 46.00 is 'The Edge of Love' (Keira Knightley, Matthew Rhys as Thomas) which focusses on the early work and the war years (for me, not a satisfactory picture of the poet, but that's normal for any film about a poet!... but, I guess, as a way into the work it's better than not looking into Thomas at all).
Thank you! You might also be interested in the 2nd Dylan documentary from 'Just Another Poet', this time looking at Dylan's Welsh identity. This features a long discussion with former archdruid Jim Parc Nest: ua-cam.com/video/1r-OuxwMtq0/v-deo.html
