84 year-old performance poet Pennant Roberts reminisces about his early trials of doing performance poetry on street corners and in working men’s clubs, and the advantages of experiencing ‘dying’ onstage at least once. His funny tale takes us back to his schooldays when it was acceptable for teachers to throw blackboard rubbers at pupils and any of those pupils asking questions were frowned upon. He ends the episode with his beautiful poem ‘Shrinking Giants or Positively the Last Welsh Dragon.’
