Spack

Agreed also. Absolutely brilliant. Ben

Agreed, but then as I have said before I think there is something failry spectacular about Spack's poetry. It's proper poetry innit?

Thanks for the flag and for the cherries. It's been a while since I tasted them. Am trying to put together a collection of thirty of my poems that I like at the moment; it's not so easy. I haven't been able to post any replies to forum threads yet so we'll see if this works. Anybody read Alice Oswald's book-length poem - Dart? Well good. It follows the river dart, weaving in all the different voices of people who live/work on the river. It's based on real interviews and, at the side of the page, it tells you who's voice/interview is influencing the poem. It feels very original. This should not be on this thread. I'll transfer it...

I really like Spack's poems. I think he does a very wonderful balancing act between mundane and fantastic, with his best poems swinging between the two in a wonderfully unshowy way.
