Having just staggered back from the pub it is obvious that I am not
a poet. And downtown this afternoon I did not buy Thom Gunn's Butch Cupid
but instead bought prose from A.N.Wilson, Germaine Greer, Susan Blackmore
and Andrew O'Hagan. I was put off the Thom Gunn by the Radio 3 presenter's
emphasis on the Jeffrey Dahmer poems. If I was a poet I would have liked
to be in the pub with Patrick. We would have enjoyed ourselves. Perhaps
Seamus could have looked in later. Now should I go back to the pub tonight,
after Top of the POeps?
