- It's great. Go there! It will bring sunshine into a grey November, and
make you think of possibilities and potentials.
However, should you need a downer afterwards - I've uploaded the
Guardian text of Paterson's TS Eliot Lecture:
http://www.greatworks.org/poems/dp.html
I think we have the moral right to for all of us to read a text that is
in some ways, one might suspect, directed at us. So I've made it
immediately available to BritPo listmembers.
It is a strange mixture of insight, narrow-minded prejudice, and
personal obsessions and obscurities - the stuff on Horse Whispering
(applicable to Horses, Women, and, "with mind-numbing dullness", Poems)
is breath-taking.
"Poets are people with an unusual gift for the composition of verses".
Verses!
Back to VisPo at once!
