Great Regulars: A lot of the subjects of my poems are on the face

of it very personal--they're poems about my partner, they're poems about my childhood, they're poems about my mother in particular, they're poems about my father, they're poems about what happens to me in a rolling way--but I've always thought that the very large amount of my time that I spend engaged with the political things around my writing is evident here . . . a sense of England mutating from being one kind of society into another one.
