While hoping to see talks turned into books, we have more chance of seeing Simon Armitage's Oxford Lectures in print.
One can hardly expect such a great poem to be excavated any further than Simon does here with Tamer and Hawk.
Armitage on Hughes and Gunn
It is marvellous, meticulous work by Simon.
And on the website, there is a podcast- a podcast, I ask you- of his lecture on Elizabeth Bishop.
Something to look forward to.
Well played, Simon.

- 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.
