Just one question: were you on Radio 4 yesterday with a 16 yr old girl?

Sax

Feck! I listened to that. I didn't catch the guy's name - was it really Nick?

And Nick, did you get off with the girl afterwards?

Sax> yeah, the presenter totally garbled the surname every time he said it, but I'm sure it had the right number of syllables and started with the right letter. Hmm...

Hah! [grin] No, I wasn't, but funnily enough I caught the show. She was amazing, wasn't she? I must get onto the Beeb website and get her name to buy the book.

I don't really write poetry except for Barbelith - I have more fun with script and prose.

Can anyone tell me who they were? The beeb website is NOT helping...

Sorry Nick, meant to reply to this sooner. The chap was actually Nick Drake, according to 2 websites (I searched on "chocolate and salt"). Which shows just how bad the presenter's diction, or my hearing, really is.

Couldn't find the girl, can't remember any part of her name (I was sanding down some walls at the time, so for me it went: *poetry*... JHOOSCHHHHHHHHH ...*poetry*...SCREEEEEE etc) But her stuff was facking great. Particularly the one about miniature parents.

The BBC must be destroyed. It's the only way. Then I can pick the tapes from the rubble and go to Waterstones.

maybe a little drastic.
her name is Caroline Bird, and her book is called "looking through letterboxes"

Are you sure? I got the 'Caroline Bird' name, but she seems to have been around for a bit too long - or are there two of her?

I don't know if there are two of her, but that's what it said on the BBC site,
also here (although I think they have her age wrong)
