Here is outgoing Laureate Andrew Motion's controversial poem about the Iraq War;
Causa Belli - Andrew Motion
They read good books, and quote, but never learn
a language other than the scream of rocket-burn.
Our straighter talk is drowned but ironclad:
elections, money, empire, oil and Dad.
If I can find a copy I will post Carol Ann's even more controversial Education for Leisure latter on.
The English really have become quite shit at poetry. Bring back Laurie Lee, I say.
