I realise there are plenty of other people in the world called as I am, and Dave Gorman famously made a career out of tracking down his name-sakes, and I know really EVERYBODY is a poet - more or less secretly, BUT!
This made me chuckle - really laugh out loud - when I did a search on my own name today, and discovered someone writing poetry saying it had been inspired by someone with my name... like that required no further explanation... Now I know I have had my moments - like my humiliation on the Richard and Judy show, and having poems translated into arabic and so on... BUT I'M NOT THAT FAMOUS!
And next comes the horrifying thought! Could it be possible that there are 2 (fairly) well-known poets called as I am and worse: the other one is way more popular!
With "Bindon" being a lastname only slightly more common than Humperdink, I am currently feeling like the lesser known of 2 singers called Engelbert.
That being the case I would like history to remember that I was the one who founded the "Emergency 24-hour Mobile Poets" way back in the early nineties. It might even have been late eighties... Who can remember that long ago.
What is the minimum set of agreements which need to be in place before it is possible to have a productive conversation between people who have opposing "beliefs"?
