Poems presented:

• The Byronic Bounty, by Fiona Gregory-Smith. A postulated description of the sailing trip that was due to take place in August of that year.
• To Evening, by Danny Henrey. A charming (if somewhat abusive) idyll, based on Matthew Arnold.
• The Sating of a Satyr, by Steve Hoey. A hymn to pure love. Have a sick bag handy.
• So we'll no more go a ewe-ing, by Chris Oakley. A tragic elegy to the love that dare not bleat its name.
