So two broadsheets (well a quality tabloid and a Berliner) are giving away poetry pamphlets. The Indy have gone the classic route (Milton yesterday, Pope today, my guess is one of the Romantic blokes tomorrow), whereas I suspect the Grauniad has bought shares in Faber and Faber (Eliot yesterday, Auden today).

Slightly boggled to see my old tutor aka Sham Toejob pictured in the Grauniad yesterday; professor and head of department? And always there with the Larkin stuff - letters to mother.

I keep opening newspapers and turning on the radio and recognising the expert - last week Xav was talking to George Romero on the Toady programme (and let's face it, a horror director being treated respectfully on the Toady programme is odd enough).
