Anglophilia is a disease that American poets have struggled with since the days of Poe, but it doesn’t mean that Bunting or Raworth are not great poets with absolute relevancy regardless of where one lives.

“Major things are wind, evil, a good fighting horse, prepositions, inexhaustible love, the way people choose their king. Minor things include dirt, the names of schools of philosophy, mood and not having a mood, the correct time. There are more major things than minor things overall, yet there are more minor things than I have written here, but it is disheartening to list them. When I think of you reading this I do not want you to be taken captive, separated by a wire mesh lined with glass from your life itself, like some Elektra.”
