An aside…. (I seem to be offering a lot of asides these days.)
Mention of Jim Powell...
Jim Powell is a very fine poet. His collection It Was Fever That Made The World (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1989) contains some very strong poems indeed, among my favourites of those written in the past two decades - on either side of the Pond. Perhaps the one I love most from that book is "Housekeeping". He has several convincing translations from the Latin, too. (He is a specialist in classics, I believe.)
Kind regards
Clive
