The whole challenge of #poetry is to keep language open, so that what we don't yet know can pass through it.

Wow. Alice Oswald is a sublime poet. How have I left discovering her until now??? Memorial goes directly, viscerally, and beautifully into my most treasured poetry books. Have just bought most of her oeuvre on finishing it. #poetry #aliceoswald
