I miss him so much. I had to have a look at what he's up to.
It's the same old story, I'm afraid. He's still issuing prescriptive lists of what we all ought to be reading although they are olde worlde recommendations of completely predictable poets from a tired idea of challenging some perceived idea of orthodoxy. And you don't get much more orthodox than that.
It was ever thus. Men will be men and want to try on what they think are tough guys clothes, like the leather jackets that their heroes wear. But it doesn't look right on them somehow and they are the only ones who don't realize.
It's a wide church, poetry. Everybody can play. Those who try to look 'cool' are always the ones who don't.

- David Green (Books) is the imprint under which I published booklets of my own poems. The original allocation of ISBN numbers is used up now, though. The 'Collected Poems' are now available as a pdf. The website is now what it has become, often more about music than books and not so often about poems. It will be about whatever suggests itself.
