    Reading your South Stack Revisited – love the churlish Larkinesque opening moves with the forlorn erotic comedy of youth and age – but then something from elsewhere – tenderly appreciative – like one of Hardy’s memory-poems of place-revisited- AND I do think there ought to be a collected Selzer by now – so boldly sending the link to Paul Keegan at Faber.

    What a start to the New Year and the new decade! Such comparisons with exalted favourites – and such an expression of faith! Humbling. Thank you.
