I read a number of the these poems with bemused incomprehension. However, inspired by Jeanette Winterson's practice of memorising a poem a week, I decided to memorise two from this collection, and they richly repaid the effort. For the record, I can recite number xii of 'diversions' (beginning 'The wall longs to be rubble') and her lovely elegaic 'ecce'.
