He was the only person to speak in Mel Brooks's 'Silent Movie'. It's the only thing I remember about that film.

That's not Henri - it's Roger McGough. The other one was (is) Brian Patten.

No...bit further north - Norman MacCaig. If my memory's right it was one he dedicated to Hugh MacDiarmid, but the name escapes me.

Ooh! Ooh! I do know the one...and I've been trying to recall the first line or title so I can look it up in my Bumper Book of Norman McCaig. The one that has something about McDiarmid shooting at a bird and bringing down the landscape, yes?

Are those the opening lines then?

Have we seen my offshoot, bonobopomes? Here's one from your part of the world:

Grand stuff, poetry. I'm glad to be rediscovering it.
