I had a different post vaguely swimming in my head for this evening but I had an email from the publisher Faber in the UK about a new website called 60 Years in 60 Poems. It is a lovely interactive site on which you can read a poem that represents each year in question. You can also listen to each poem being read, and a good many of the years have extras to explore – photos and audio. It was put together, in part, to celebrate the Queen’s Jubilee.
I’ve not read all the poems but I scrolled through and selectively read a few. One of my favorites is 1984 by Robert Crawford. And here is the audio of another really good one, “In the Space of That Year” by Clare Shaw (2008).
Nice, eh?
Go on, go explore and get your poetry fix.

The safeguarding of Waterstone's future will secure the midlist of history and science writing, literary fiction and memoir, the m.d. of Faber has said. Stephen Page, writing in the Guardian, said if the Waterstone's acquisition by Alexander Mamut goes ahead, it would be "tremendous" news for readers and writers.
