Bill used to be here. We sorted out the best in Edwin Morgan and others
with him. He did do McDiarmid as did Robert Eliot. I have the book and it is
roughly a list of shopping utensils. As for Bill's poetry only Mappa Mundi
has struck as spark with me. But as Peter said there is still hope for
Robert but I fear he is too academicised.
