First step
There is always a first post. This is the first post.
I am rereading J.H. Prynne's Poems. The book was given to me by my mother after I finished my A-levels, and I had always been particularly fascinated by 'Love in the Air', which I studied with a favourite tutor. With this particular tutor, everything miraculously became clear. Now the book itself is an amulet promising clarity, as emblematic as a dictionary cover, even though I have to try so very hard to tease out the meaning from the rest of the poems within it.

"... What you can
afford is nothing: the sediment on which we stand
was too much, and unasked for."
- from 'Love in the Air', 1969.

Saraldutt, thank you! I'll just go and have a look at your blog... :)
Hi Feroce! Welcome to the world of blog. Thanks for the link, and good luck!
Thanks, Tony. I was just going to let you know that I'd linked to your site. As you can tell, I don't read many blogs yet! I've been on Livejournal.com for several years and have only recently moved over to blogging territory.
