Reviews
Certainly the work of the worst Poet Laureate for over a century, possibly ever. But as Chesterton would say, even a bad poet is still a poet, and it is proper that his work is preserved for those who might enjoy his work. I am not one of that ilk.
An interesting poem that touches on art and idleness and the role nature plays in each..
"... extremely well worth reading, tho' not all plain sailing, a marvellous achievement for 85, probably I've said this before." - MRJ to Gwendolen James, 21 December 1929, printed in Letters to a friend (p. 160)
