Half and half, and trying to get the house redded up for Mark Weiss arriving
in four hours's rime.
I did sort-of react to Pat the Man on Stevie Smith -- +Novel on Yellow
Wallpaper+. But no, not her.
I *suspect* (with reservations) that the green ink syndrome (as opposed to
green tea which -- ask Roger -- goes back to an odd ghost story by
M.R.James) derives ultimately from Oscar Wilde.
Whatever, it's Deeply Pre-Raphaelite.
Or is it?
If you run a google on <green ink poetry>, it;s quire amazing what appears.
Oy's dpong my brains in and I wish someone would give a hard answer.
{Equally, I wish someone would fix the way my computer keyboard is
currently transposing letters.}
Soft answers would include Jenny Joseph and Fleur Adcock. Cyril Connolly
and enemies of promise? Galway Kinnell?
But as ro rhe particular poem ...
... off to write a cheque for Pounds Seven 50 (UK) before climbing
back into the teapot for Douglas Clark's Durban Pomes.
But what happened to that Nice Train that was supposed to be on the cover,
and what is INP?
