Many prominent people stop by the Taverna for a bite to eat and to swap stories and songs. If you could invite to the Taverna a person who has significantly influenced your creative work, whose voice may be heard coming from your writing, whose vision emanates from your artwork, who would that person be?
The individual(s) can be anyone– a writer, artist, philosopher, scientist, theologian, politician, teacher, friend, family member, sinner or saint. The person can be famous or not, alive or dead, a real person or a character in a book.
Just tell us why and how your creativity has been touched by this person. Comment below or post to category “BS 23.02.07 Influential People.
If you need to be signed into the Taverna, just let me know.

Long ago I attended a workshop in Saskatchewan, in the Valley they call Qu’Appel Where our teacher, mentor and great poet carried us into the places of the heart where poetry is. Robin Skelton was a wizard, or so he claimed, a wizard of voice, of exorcism who once stood on the steps of the Canadian Parliament and exorcised some folk! A man of humour, a man of sense and sensitivety who, nonetheless needed his practical and patient wife to keep him in reality. A charismatic character, guru perhaps, but above all a teacher who knew how to lead our imaginative lives to words and to make words sing. Eccentric was ok too. There will never be another Robin but I would wish that everyone who wanted to be a writer could find his sort. Fran
