This was one of the first poems I had the pleasure to teach at A Level. I remember meeting my students in Hull and watching Harrison read his poems at Hull Guildhall.

Here is the first You Tube segment of the film that caused some people to eat their own teeth in the 1980s. Me?...I was enthralled. Cheers Tony.
