Chris Allnutt reviews @benjaminmyers76.bsky.social @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social 'Jesus Christ Kinski', this wkend's ed of the Financial Times 'Sometimes they look like poetry, sometimes they verge on prose. Sometimes the letters go completely astray and come out like chunks of vomit on the page.'

'I often tell students how useful it is, to feel that the shaping energy, images and associations come from the poem, not themselves.' Ruth Padel 'The transcendent power of Seamus Heaney' in this weekend's 'Financial Times' #poetry

The Scales'

Yet when she had her say
the planet creaked up from its abyss
till the bright and the dark pans
were dead level.
