this is off topic…but I just read and really appreciated your review of Robin Robertson’s Swithering…I particularly liked the way you expounded on Between the Harvest and the Hunter’s Moon, and the comparisons with Hughes’ Ovid translations were enlightening. Agree that The Death of Actaeon is the strongest piece in the book.

Had a chance to interview Robin several years ago…he spoke of the chemistry between words…rubbing up against eachother…creating fire…

Anyhow, thanks again for your exegesis.
