tradition of poetry? The other country that springs to mind with a similar poetic slant is Poland, and there may be a clue in that. Poland has been, even more so than Ireland, a "most distressful country", as the ballad "The Wearing of the Green" has it, subject to the buffetings of history. I have a friend who thinks that only Polish poets should be allowed to write in free verse, after so many razings and rebuildings, after so many border-shifts.from The Guardian: Author, author: Nick Laird
