Back in Japan with a load of books. I picked up a great selected of John
Riley from Carcanet--and found to my horror that this talent was
murdered by two thugs.
One of my students was divested of her money at Victoria station by
suri--as we call pick pockets--this was literally like shaking down a
child.
All of which leads up to the question of how many poets do you know of
who were murdered? Not talking about war, but lost their lives due to
criminal activity, intrigues, street crime, etc...
Chaucer
Surrey
Marlowe
moderns?
