Guardian great poets

Sigh. The Guardian is like a dream date in newspaper form. They’re publishing a series of booklets on seven great poets of the 20thC. Up first is Eliot. Auden’s next. Then Plath, Larkin, Hughes, Heaney, and Sassoon.

Each booklet includes a generous selection of the poet’s best known and most acclaimed work.

Their poetry is accompanied by introductions from prominent literary figures, archive reviews and facsimile reproductions of their original manuscripts.

I would so put out on the first date. We might not even get to the restaurant.

    George, are you sure Tom Eliot is your type? He seems kind of, I don’t know, uptight to me. Even if you put out, he might not accept what you were offering!

    I’m more interested in his pretty girlfriend, The Guardian. I’d even accept the paper cuts.
