I’ve always specially liked the term ‘little magazine’. It sounds so un-literary. But of course, it’s the reverse.  

So do you need to know about the poet’s life?

It’s a sort of spectrum. At one end – the safe end – there’s persona (Robert Browning – ‘My Last Duchess’).

As a writing topic, age is in. Age has always been in.

The yellow book has gone to print. I’m not sure how it got there and I want to get it back.

Should anyone (I know it's unlikely) wonder where the blog has gone, it has gone into a chapter about blogging and taken my brain with it.
