His next major poetry reading will be at the Aldeburgh Poetry Festival during the weekend of November 5-7 where he has several readings including one with Andrew Motion and Elaine Feinstein. This is a cause for celebration. Aldeburgh Poetry Festival is the Poetry Society’s showpiece event for major poets and Kops who is better known as a dramatist can now show why his poetry is also deserving of the attention it is currently receiving.

Radio 4 kindertransport feature

Good news, the BBC R4 Reunion programme will be featuring the kindertransport. The Reunion programme is broadcast sometime over the summer when Desert Island Discs is on holiday – with a  Friday and Sunday lunchtime  repeat – two great slots. Producer Sarah Cuddon asked for a copy of Person of No Natioinality as  Ruth Barnett will be one of  the Kinder voices on the prog.  I hope Sue Macgregor is presenting, as she did last year.
