I shall always remember what I was doing when I heard 'the news':
sitting on a tube train reading Richard Caddel's 'For the fallen' in
Fragmente. The next thing I saw (mistily) was the headline. Nothing easy
to say about that, but everyone should read this wonderful poem in which
grief beyond (and partly for) words is stitched into them.
