Plus I like tearing and sticking my post-it note strips to ones I want to go back to.
    Thanks Hes, its nice to be here...i agree, it is nice to peruse a book, to feel the pages and slowly digest the words...i also think it is nice to hear poems read although sometimes it can be off putting depending on the reader! I have a copy of a book called Words that Burn that has a CD in the back and the version of Frost's Two Roads Diverged poem is read beautifully...

    How about printing some FPS bookmarks?

    I save postcards, theatre tickets, photos, all sorts, to use as bookmarks for that very reason. It certainly doesn't feel right sticking a post it note into some of the very old books.

    That sounds good. A friend of mine once read me a poem over the phone in their soft hebridean accent and it was really lovely.

    Tell you what...at the fell poets' meet, I'll bring you all some print fragments to use as bookmarks. I sometimes have prints with a small flaws in that I can't sell so I save them and tear pieces off to make cards. They would be nice bookmarks I reckon. I'd better post a poem before Xrunner tells me off for chatting!

    Now you see this is just a bit off putting even tho he is a great actor...oh and i got the name of the poem wrong but you catch my drift!...

    i like the idea of fell poet bookmarks...very much...no pressure!
    the other idea i had was a fell poet calendar for 2011, we could divvy up the months and collaborate with poems/art?

    What a brilliant idea. That would be great. I was just thinking that we hadn't written a thing ourselves tonight.

    Poets nattering
    Is all well and good but there
    are fine words to write

    Yes. A fine moustache that I couldn't take my eyes off, but I didn't take in a bloomin' word of what he said!
