What I wrote, Roddy, was: "If he'd called it 'Some of the Best British Poetry 2011', then it wouldn't come across as being arrogant and exclusive." That is not the same as saying that I find the book either arrogant or exclusive. I was merely saying it comes across that way because of its title. And no, I haven't read it.
