    Itr says something about how many writers/poets and books there are that someone can list 12 and I've not read one of them - or even read the authors. Correction: I have read bits of Fleur Adcock and possibly Ian Duhig.

    Had a quick google and have now read Elvis the Performing Octopus by Polly Clark.

    I should stay in more.

    hmmm and probably I should get out more.....but then again.....
    yes, it's wonderful that there's so much poetry in the world! I would recommend all the above

    Polly Clark's poem Farewell my Lovely is on her website - it's very good.
    And Ian Duhig reads The Lammas Hireling on the poetry archive, with a little intro giving some background

    thanks for dropping by Dominic!
