I just got a call this morning from the
poet Hilary Davies informing me that her husband Sebastian Barker passed away
in London. A fine poet and dear friend, he shall be sorely missed. Here he
is with wife and friend in happier days in the house he built and loved so much
in the village of Sitochori, Greece.
You can hear Sebastian reading from his
poetry as well as finding out more about his rich and creative life at the link
below.
My condolences to you, Vassilis, on the passing of your friend.

Thanks, Ed. If Sebastian could have seen your comments about his poetry, I’m sure he would have said “Spot on!”
