Some more poems (I just wanted to add on reflection the little N.B that although African-Americans use the phrase "the klan" to refer to the KKK, when discussing my poem "Serrano's Klansman" I would rather have used the term KKK than "the klan/clan". Given the extemporary nature of this particular episode, in order to preserve this quality I chose not to go back and re-edit but I did want to add this little addendum clarifying my thoughts regarding language/and different groups' entitlement to the use of different terms concerning this sensitive topic) Many thanks.

KIRSTY WARK: You call it "Art, truth and politics". I mean, that do you feel that as a writer you have a responsibility, no matter how oblique the political references are in your plays, to be more politically explicit, as it were, as a campaigner? HAROLD PINTER: My plays... (lick).... I've always dealt with erm political... matters, really. Erm. You say, "obliquely". Well, perhaps. But they've always dealt with power. (Lick, lick) The powerful and the powerless. Erm. (Lick). But the longer I live the more I feel that I have an obligation (lick) to be very very precise (lick) and concrete (lick) about the way power is manifested, and, erm, in this world, and the way, hypocrisy is, erm, manifested really. So I think it's, erm, an obligation on me as a citizen to be very very clear about what I actually think. I think ,by the way, it's an obligation on everybody.
