Poems presented:

• Coming up to Oxford , by Anthony Fraser. A truly lyrical account of the poet's inner journey.
• The Rape of Trinity's Finest, by George Hector. The Byronists are visited by a dark force when dining.
• The Temptation of Faustus , by Danny Henrey . A fantasy in which Faustus is shown the lifestyles of various Byronists as part of his temptation.
• The Ballad of Huge Boredom, by Gregory Klyve . An epic about a Trinity person.
• English Grads and (other) Raunch Purveyors , by Chris Oakley . Satire on Byron Society creative work.
• The Love Song of J. Charlotte Proof-Reader , by Charlotte "Margarita Cogni" Stoudt. I think you would have to study modern Lit. Crit. to understand this one.
• Anthem for Subsumed Youth , by Richard Todd and John Lowry. A reflection on the timeless quality of the Byron Society.
