Re Mary Beard/Perloff I just reported the facts cos I thought it of interest. Re David Bircumshaw's poems I will now pass them on to Fred Beake. RE my post being Scottish and parsimonius and lazy I always cram all my information into the one post rather than expend energy on multiple contributions. I have spent the last day designing a 'Kitten Poems' pamphlet with a view to publishing it. I had to add Adult Poems to pad it out. I would be keen for comments as to whether it is acceptable and works. It can be found at http://www.bath.ac.uk/~exxdgdc/poetry/library/kh1.html Now after the soccer scores and DAvid Hockney's extraordinary programme on artists use of cameras from the 15th century it is the NYRB before Bob Harris.
