Clutter The emptying of the house reminds me that You talked of weeds, flowering, fruiting. Still, “Don’t throw anything out!” you growled. But gradually I burrowed into these too, disposed of fistfuls. I’m reminded of this, as I box what remains unboxed.
Your Voice Inside the Abbey Unannounced, your voice filled the Abbey,
Untranslated Do I preserve what I know by not transcribing you, Letters to Ted is a remarkable collection of poems in memory of the late Poet Laureate, Ted Hughes, with whom Daniel Weissbort struck up a friendship, both literary and personal, during their student days in 1950s Cambridge. Swift-moving, by turns contemplative and dramatic in their narration, these spare, poignant, often diary-like poems conjure up a rich history of incidents and memories, creating a moving portrait of a great poet and a lasting friendship. |
