The publicity material for this event says:

"Continuing our exciting summer season on European poetry, four contemporary Coffee-House poets reflect on great 20c European poets (see poem below...)

- Martyn Crucefix's most recent collection is An English Nazareth and his translation of Duino Elegies by Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926, b. Prague) is forthcoming from Enitharmon.

- Joy-of-Six member Anne Berkeley's work appeared in Oxford Poets 2002; she talks on poet & screenwriter Jacques Prévert (1900-1977, b. Neuilly-sur-Seine).

- Jamie McKendrick's latest collection is Ink Stone (Faber 2003)-since then he has edited the Faber Book of 20th Century Italian Poems; he reads & discusses Eugenio Montale (1896-1981, b. Genoa).

- Michael Foley has published four novels, four poetry collections and translations of French poets-his Autumn Beguiles the Fatalist (Blackstaff, 2006) includes translations from Francis Ponge (1899-1988, b. Montpellier).
