New Poet Laureate

[sox-and-the-city]

I listened to a coverage of that news on BBC Arabic radio , they never mentioned she was lesbian !! . i think having been talking about her for more than half an hour , they should have mentioned that about her

Really?? Is it relevant to her ability as a writer?? I mean, if you've ever read any of her man-hating drivel the fact that she subscribes to the Valerie Solanas school of thought is the only standout theme. I hate her and her scribblings.

War Photographer and Tea are, admittedly really rather good but two decent pieces of poetry in a career as long as hers is not any real achievement.

I had to study that horrendous harridan and her hateful harpings four
times I can recite most of her well known works offhand,
Look at me and i'll mimic her poetry in this very Paragraph.

I remember in one creative writing class we had to write a poem in the style of Duffy. Mine was admittedly rather mean but i've yet to show it to someone and them not to laugh. I'll away and look it out...
