Lovely event, beautiful rendition of the song, loved the singularity and entropy poems and Neils most. You seemed very frazzled, I’m sorry for anything you are going through and hope you are ok x

So peeved I only got the livestream to work for a few poems (though they were excellent) really hope there will be an archive to watch.

Is it somehow possible to get a list of the poems? I would love to read them again, but I was too busy feeling all sorts of things to write the titles and poets down :)

So exciting!

Lots of exciting things! How do you not get overwhelmed sometimes by all of the amazingness that you get to take part in? (Sitting in a large communal kitchen that belongs to the school where I am studying Japanese. Currently avoiding writing a presentation!)

damn damn damn. I missed it. Please say there is a recording somewhere out there that I could watch?

Amanda, my husband (recent captive audience member) and myself got the chance to watch your performance. We were incredibly moved by your reading of Neil’s words. It felt like a beautiful duet. The music of course was beautiful and emotional and a perfect way to end the night. We thank you so much for making this available for us to watch. And yet again, we now have found another cause to donate towards because of you!
