I have just been browsing the internet looking for people from the past. Your site came up because I typed in Kellett. I am 75 years old now but knew Pat Pilkington and Geoffrey Kellett back in the 1950 period when they were in rep at Bramhall in Cheshire with Glenn Melvyn and Ronnie Barker. They spent a lot of time at our house because they were in digs and did not have much money. I was only about 15 at this time and thought that they were married. My mother, who only died two years ago at the age of 106 often talked about Geoff (we didn't know him as Ben!) and wondered what had happened to him since he and Pat split up. I have a couple of photos of Pat and Geoff taken in Llandudno when we were on holiday. Would you be interested in copies of them? My mother saw Pat quite a few times after she joined Coronation Street and I also saw her in about 1973 when she told me that she had seen Geoff. Geoff was writing a play (can't remember the title of it now) but I did a lot of typing for him and often wonder if it ever got finished. Do let me know if you would like copies of the photos, not the quality of todays photos of course but still nice to have. We had some lovely times with Pat and Geoff, they became very good friends.

Hi Bill,
how are you? Just thought I'd let you know I'm in my last year of an English Lit (with creative writing) degree at Exeter. It's been ever such a long haul as I had to interrupt my studies twice! My dissertation is going to be on current book art that has a literary content. I reckon one of your modules on concrete poetry all those years ago must have inspired this!
All the best,
Sally Light

Pulling the Plug on Grandma frightened me - at 72 I'm well in your target zone. Then I realised that I'm OK - France doesn't do things like that!
Looking forward to the poetry workshop.
Regards,
ViV

Hi Bill
Just a quick note to say thanks for the fantastic Exeter poetry clinic, and all the great feedback you've given us. We're going to miss it so much. Looking forward to all getting together again (albeit virtually - but hey, who needs a body!) next year sometime.

I've just finished reading a desperately weak 'comic' novel by one Ian Sanson called 'The Case of the Missing Books'.
You describe it in the book's blurb as 'cripplingly funny'. I appreciate that book reviews - especially ones about comedy - are hugely susceptible to exaggeration and puffery (I recall one of a Clarkson book describing how 'coffee will pour from your nostrils as you read it'), but for you to describe this limp, cardboard-cut-out effort as 'cripplingly funny' has got to be the most shameful and bogus example I have ever witnessed.
It really does leave me wondering: if the humour in that book (was there any, beyond GCSE picaresque?) cripples you, what does a Fawlty Towers sketch do to you? Or The Office? Or Douglas Adams? Presumably some sort of major internal rupturing followed by a year of hospitalisation.
I do hope the writer returned the favour, I really do. He owes you, big time.

Hi Bill,
I listened to "Dangerous Heart" on your website. I enjoyed the melody and lyrics - didn't get all of them. The tape seemed to skip in spots. It's definitely my kind of music! If you get a CD together, let me know.
When are you coming over?

I wrote to you months ago asking you for advice on creative writing courses. I was grateful for the advice you gave me although you probably don't remember; it gave me a kick start to do something about my writing.
I start on an MA online course in September. It is a poetry option but in the meantime I have been writing childrens' fiction, something I have always wanted to do. I have finished one book and am half way through another.
I just thought that you would like to know that a helpful email can really provide inspiration...so thanks so much again.

The Opsimath
She was drowning and he threw her
the Oxford English dictionary, compact edition.
'No magnifying glass,' she spluttered.
'There's nothing else,' he said, calmly
sharpening a pencil, 'besides,
it's inflatable, just pull the tab.'
She did. A string of
rhymes came out. Pulled again.
Ah, some assonance, some Sylvia Plath,
blue annotations that clung and
stung like jelly-fish.
She flailed about, spitting out verses and
interior monologues. She blew the whistle.
'I like this,' he said, stretched out
on a lilo, 'but try that.' He threw her
the pencil and the sharpener.
Breathless for a while, she lay
on the dictionary. Then she began
paddling with the pencil. With the sharpener
for a compass she made for
the ocean.
The original title of this poem was 'Drama Queen'. Later I thought I would call it 'I like this', Bill's favourite Pythian comment, usually in blue, below a piece of writing which had taken me a week to shape. It made me feel appreciated but also spurred me on. This way he achieved the impossible: to teach a Greek woman to write poetry and prose in English.
Aphroula,
Milina, April 07

Just been back along memory lane looking at the photos of Exeter College - was there 77-79. Started your evening class at exeter college but had to stop going as problems with my health(MS). Interested in the new Open University course i've just seen on this site - will look into it -have I missed the boat? At the moment am coming to the end of a 6 month on-line course in poetry at Lancaster Unversity and looking into next step...
