Me, I prefered the slippage also - Ubu rules! I liked Hamilton Finlay's phrase "being in the outside"; and his use of the word "wicked", in its old fashioned sense, amused me. His insistence on classicism and the living past should perhaps give pause to any sense that poetry moving outside its own delimited artform is a new idea - and also his refusal to do anything for any reason except that he is moved to. He most certainly refuses the idea that considerations of reactions to his work have any bearing on what he does. I admire that.
