Congrats on the pubs, Gregory. Perfect timing for me as I am currently retreading Hardy by working straight through the Complete Poems. I have been thinking a lot lately about Wessex, Robinson's Tilbury Town, and Richard Hugo's idea of the "triggering town." Also, Hugo, like Hardy, was a great elegiast, and Robinson was too, come to think of it. My synapses are making connections...
Anyway, thanks Gregory for further food for thought.
