"Benjamin Zephaniah did it stuck in a lift with a drag queen."
Any news story that starts out this way is guaranteed to make me keep reading. Well played, Maev Kennedy of The Guardian. Well played.
While the story "Poets reveal the strangest places they've 'done it'" isn't, unfortunately, about torrid, steamy sex in elevators with drag queens, it is about something I find equally interesting: the process of writing. Participants in the upcoming Ledbury Poetry festival were asked to share some of the strangest places they've gotten inspiration for their work. They range from mountaintops to church pews.
Benjamin Zephaniah, who apparently tried to be gay once as a political statement but decided he liked the ladies a little too much, wins.
