Unutterably classic, obsessed with that liminal space, dreading the forward, but no footsteps leading back, and the pitches in language, the free slowing structures, "spicy cumin, an aftertaste of nets". Classic for The Dumb House too.

Classic.

All-time great Burnside line: "He's gone over the top with some blagger's piece of candyfloss"

alex: which point - poetry = liminal, or poetry = worse since he left the bill?
