Make Music Comments

I remember Sylvia Plath's transformation after a period of instruction under Robert Lowell at, I think, Yale anyway Ivy Leaf. After that her verse really took off and I think her poem Daddy is the best poem written in english since Eliot's East Coker. Both have a wonderfully free music, as do many of Lowell's. Sadly in England a habit of tight verse has emerged. Not my cup of tea. Actually I hate tea. Maybe you Americans have a freer style. Certainly the best modern verse I've read comes either from the States or Ireland. Tom

Thank you, Subhas. You have many good lyrical writers on the Indian Sub-continent. Lots of heart too. Tom
