Over at the Tuesday Poetry hub this
week, you’ll find ‘Villon in Millerton by James Norcliffe. This week’s
hub editor is Harvey Molloy, who writes:
This week's poem is an extract from James Norcliffe's long poem Villon in Millerton. A few months ago I was helping Helen Rickerby and friends post out the latest issue of JAMM when Helen told me about 'Truth or Beauty: Biography and Poetry', an upcoming conference on biographical poetry to be held at Victoria University in November.
I immediately thought of James' Villon
in Millerton, a wonderful book book-ended by two long biographical
poems--one about the fifteenth-century François Villon at the front and one
concerning the rather creepy Samuel Marsden at the back. When my turn came to
edit the Hub, I knew that I wanted to share this long poem with our readers.
