Tony Harrison’s ‘Once Controversial’ Poem Gets Ultimate Graveyard Gig, Author Attends (Spiritually, Anyway). What better way to honor a poet than to perform his most famous (and famously scandalous) work right where it all began? ?
This performance of the ‘once controversial’ poem V, originally planned for its 40th anniversary in the very Leeds cemetery that inspired it, has now taken on a whole new layer of dramatic irony. The timing couldn’t be more… poetic, as it will now also serve as a tribute to Harrison himself, who shuffled off this mortal coil just last week. One might say he’s now got the best seat in the house for his own eulogy! ?
