have said they'd like to see a discussion of Roddy Lumsden's poetry, and PotW's own MeltonMowbray posted a request earlier this year. So for this week's poem, I've chosen one of my favourites from Lumsden's latest collection, Terrific Melancholy (recommended if you haven't already got a copy). I hope aficiandos and new readers alike will enjoy the elegiac virtuosity of "Square One."Panning shots of the razzmatazz of contemporary London begin with an unnaturally motionless River Thames, which contrasts with the surrounding fluidity of endless construction and self-invention.
from Carol Rumens: The Guardian: Poem of the week: Square One by Roddy Lumsden
