‘His work needs to be seen’: the Eric Gill exhibition put together by abuse survivors
Ever since the artist’s repellent crimes were brought to light, the world has grappled with how to treat his work. Now a new exhibition at Ditchling, where he lived, is giving survivors a say

The next time you want to call something "Orwellian" please first think about how Orwell was a socialist who literally fought Nazis and who wasn't warning everyone to fear the left.

Today’s poem is called ‘This is One of Those Poems without any Rhymes’.
This is One of Those Poems without any Rhymes   This is one of those poems without any rhymes, the sort of thing you might read in the Telegraph or Time[crossed out] Guardian.   For, as proper poets know, rhyme’s deleterious and only gets in the way when you’re trying to be serious[crossed out] profound.   It’s childish and cloying, simplistic and singsong to bat rhymes back and forth like some dull game of ping pong[crossed out] table tennis.   To the literary critic it will cause great affront, which will make you resent them and think them a snob.   This is also one of those poems which looks like it might go on to say something insightful about the human condition but then just kind of ends.
