Sad news earlier this week that Rob Mackenzie is suspending activities on his Surroundings blog.
Surroundings has been one of the most interesting blogs on the U.K. poetry scene these past few years and is packed with reviews of collections and mags, comments on poetry news and links to lots of dodgy music videos such as the recent Neil Diamond season (I'm a closet fan too!). I thoroughly recommend a browse through its archive.
I want to mention apparent allusions that have struck me in two recent
poems. One is in A Bird Called Elaeus, David Constantine’s brilliant book
of version...
Who can resist 'Love on the Rocks'? I'm a closet fan.
