I rarely reblog, but this is a particularly enjoyable piece from Britain’s poet laureate.

Haven’t found one yet that compares…

I had the privilege of hearing her read this one in Chicago a few years back. Her reading voice is scrumptious: slow, wry, that wicked accent. Thanks for sharing.

This is a deliciously thick poem.

Norbert: I first became aware of you at the Spring Green Literary Festival.  A couple of years ago, I spent time in your workshop at The Clearing.

I’m supposing you’re pretty robust these days….and I’m very glad. I appreciate the up tick in POETRY DISPATCH posts, which seems to indicate good things on your end. Be well.  Enjoy. Pat McCorkle
