Much as I'd like to select favourites from a burgeoning poetry scene as Christmas presents, many (most?) would still receive slim volumes much as they would receive Homer Simpson socks or jumpers with reindeer on the front. How do we get intelligent readers to take that last small step from lyrical prose to accessible verse?Dickhttp://patteran.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387918.post-86198653907758418892009-12-02T10:15:37.026+00:002009-12-02T10:15:37.026+00:00Happy Birthday my fellow Sagi!

Happy birthday.<br /><br />As for poetry books, I recently bought my mum Mark Doty's <a href="http://news.scotsman.com/arts/Poem-of-the-week-Mark.4647271.jp" rel="nofollow">Theories and Apparitions</a>. This poem about John Berryman had me rooted to the spot when I first found it in a bookshop. (I mentioned this book on someone's blog somewhere a while ago - apologies if it was here and I'm repeating myself!)Dominic Rivronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618013365521035400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387918.post-72806497826494807082009-12-01T22:02:24.785+00:002009-12-01T22:02:24.785+00:00You've got a thing about lists, Barbara!You've got a thing about lists, Barbara!Rachel Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046917627054462214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20387918.post-37861761433502383372009-12-01T15:17:36.471+00:002009-12-01T15:17:36.471+00:00Hope you're having a great birthday, Barbara!
