Walter E. Lucock
Walter Lucock , the Saddler Poet, enjoys considerable fame on the Kent-Surrey borderland. As a saddler, he has plied his craft since boyhood-days, when there ' were no" motor cars to threaten the prosperity of the calling. His poetry is in the great broadsheet tradition. He is also a natural poet laureate ; that is to say, the kind of events that the official Laureate is expected to commemorate inspire Mr. Lucock to lay aside his tools and pick up his pen.
He is going to talk about himself, and he will give a few characteristic .readings from his own verses.
