Hymns To Our Lady Of Chartres.

Thanks to Dan Prichard’s Wooden Spoon blog, I found a new Geoffrey Hill poem or, rather, a new version of a poem he wrote in 1984. The original was published in three sections. It now has seven - Seven Hymns to our Lady of Chartres (opens as a .pdf file). It’s a brilliant poem.

At a more mundane level, you can read three new poems by me (‘Radio Alarm’, ‘Apartment’ and ‘Exchange’) in the new issue of Succour, issue 9 (in print only). It’s an excellent magazine featuring prose, poetry and art. Arlene Ang has six poems in the same issue, and there’s plenty more good stuff.
