Great Regulars: This week's issue features

John Buchan's war journalism and the letters of the Carlyles. To augment these, we go back to 1983 and Douglas Dunn's "Land Love", set in a "remote/Local August", one of the poems to his late wife collected in Elegies, which won the 1985 Whitbread Book Prize. Dunn was born in Renfrewshire in 1942, and worked as a librarian (alongside Philip Larkin) at the University of Hull.

from The Times Literary Supplement: Poem of the Week: Land Love by Douglas Dunn
