I have a hunch Elizabeth Jennings' poetry will go through successive periods of new appreciation. It's the intelligence at work. On her centenary I've been rereading, prompted by Michael Schmidt in PNR 290 and Daljit Nagra on BBC Radio4's Poetry Extra. #poetry @pnreview.bsky.social #BBCRadio4

A personal discovery: American poet Henri Coulette 1927–88. Love his poems in @pnreview.bsky.social 288. How about ‘The Renaissance in England’ which begins 'Wyatt takes up his quill. Henry has spoken. Newfangleness goes gadding hereabout. Farewell is honed and every promise broken’ #poetry
