i would like to introduce you to Erik [with a K]
Sometimes when i am bored or feeling extremely creative, i like to disappear so that my alter ego, Brad Fish, can take centre stage – among the most popular things that Brad Fish was ever good for was a series of Dangerous Things You Can Least Expect videos lovingly known as DTYCLE where he warned us about all kinds of things we might have never known we needed warning about such as paper, camping and of course the more obvious dangers inherent in too much violins in the world.
In more recent times though, Brad Fish has not been around as much, but in his place has stepped another man, of more European persuasion, and who has a taste for some of the finer things in life, such as poetry, and particularly reading it [or parts of it] really loudly in his delightfully foreign accent.
That man was Erik [with a K] and here are some of the poems he has done so far:
Do Not Go Gentle by Dylan Thomas
Father William by Lewis Carroll
Lonely Cloud by William Wordsworth
Timothy Winters by Charles Causley
Mid-Term Break by Seamus Heaney
Dulce et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen
The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes
The Daffodils by William Wordsworth
Pocket-sized Feminism by Blythe Baird
