Jonathan Steffen
Jonathan is very much looking forward to participating in this year’s Torbay Poetry Festival, whose theme is “Poetry and Music.”
Of course I am only a machine And full of natural frailty. My tyres go soft, My chain drops off, My brake blocks wear out
Jonathan is looking forward to being a guest of Mike Read once more on Thursday 15 January from 2:00–3:00 p.m on BBC Radio Berkshire. He will be performing live in the studio again.
On Thursday, 4 December 2014 Jonathan will be reading some of his poems at Heffers Bookshop, 20 Trinity St, City Centre, Cambridge CB2 1TY
Thus should love start, thus should love start: A slow chill creeping on the heart
The moments when we meet Alight like a bird on my hand
Do not love me too much, do not love me too much, For there’s trust in my eye but there’s flight in my touch
Amazingly, the thing I want to write about Is the colour of the coat you wore that winter.
We were inveterate readers, you and I – The Penguin Modern Classics generation: We took our values from that pale grey spine
How shall I hold you, gone from me soon? I shall hold you to me as the cloud holds the moon.
