Title: Clive James reads 'Canoe' by Keith Douglas Post by S J Birkill on Today at 09:54 http://www.peteatkin.com/images/clivereadscanoe.jpg (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-26966385) In the context "Poems that make Grown Men Cry", Clive speaks about poetry and reads this Keith Douglas poem (no relation to Clive's song lyric of the same name). |

But whoever was in charge of the intrusive camera work and sound design should be slapped. Dubbing strings was especially egregious--a good poem makes its own music. |
