Thanks, Stephen -- I'm looking forward to seeing it myself (tomorrow).
I'm not even quite sure what's in it.
Joanna (Boulter) wearing her editor's hat, chopped [rightly] quite a bit
from it, mostly rhymed poems.
The only one I (sulkily) regret losing was "Persuasions to Enjoy".
So it was Marvell-lite, but it was *good* Marvell-lite.
I *mean*, how can you write a rhymed octosyllabic quatrain poem +without+
sounding like Marvell?
:-(
