Look We Have Coming to Dover! - Daljit Nagra

I didn’t want to write it in OED English…As I was writing more and more I was aware that I was having it filtered through to me from various languages, various religions, various countries, and so in a sense I wanted to present it from this Western, global perspective, to try and capture something multicultural.

Poetry…is an espresso shot of thought and public poetry is as necessary as it ever was.

All the girls say they love me
all their mums say I'm lovely —
ever since I lived in the clouds.
