This is an interesting wee read about the search for Poet Laureates.

I read that article earlier. Fancy dismissing Sir John Betjeman. He made a fine poet laureate when he was finally appointed.
The list of poets laureate is interesting, there are many names on it that I haven't heard of.
Looking up their work will make an interesting project for a rainy afternoon.
