Malcolm sets a high standard in preparing his pitch and does all the jobs that an unsung hero is made of.

  • Newsletter 74, November 2011
    oooooo 2012 oooooooo TWO MEETINGS oooooo A Discussion Meeting has been arranged at Ely for Saturday 31 st March 2012. Glen Cavaliero has agreed to introduce the discussion, which will be on Owen Glendower Chapter 12 (‘Mathrafal’). Details from Sonia Lewis. A Powys Day at Dorchester is planned for Saturday 9th June. Frank Kibblewhite will deliver his postponed talk on Theodore and Llewelyn — Two Dorset Visionaries’ . More details in the March Newsletter, or contact ChrisThomas. Editorial The beauty of the Powys Society (as WJKeith says in his letter — p. XX) is its diversity, and this the Newsletter’s role should surely be to represent. Another happy conference is reported from different angles, by veterans and newcomers. The Llewelyn Walk was enjoyed as ever. A second instalment ofTheodore’s letters to his sisters comes from Mappowder in the 1940s. John Cowper appears as reviewer in 1928 of Proust, a writer whose indirect approaches and intense analysis might be thought to have echoes in JCP, if only to accentuate their differences. As David Gervais says, with JCP any influence is ‘likely to take the form of turning similar premises to quite different ends.’ We look back at the 1970s, with poems to JCP byTerry Diffey. Altogether elsewhere, Marcella H-P describes the Basque country as JCP might have seen it, an alternative Wales.
