I am glad to meet someone who reads poetry collections just as I do - backwards and inside out! And yes agree on Up Late, it's an extraordinary collection.

Thanks John, I just read the poem Up Late through your link, what an astonishing piece of writing, gripping and tender, moving from that strange detachment of witnessing, that creates space for the smallest observations to speak with significance. The kind of poem that sends me outside to feel the air move. And your fab essay. Great to read your process and thoughts.
