Culture February 8, 2010 | Mail a friend | |
With its daintily drawn cover artwork on a purple ground, this selection from the Poet Laureate′s work comes all tricked out like some Valentine′s Day gift. Beware.

This “moon wrapped in brown paper” will “blind you with tears″ – but let it gently simmer, and you come to savour the sweetness underneath.
