I looked up Drummond Allison - I knew...Thanks Tom!<br /><br />I looked up Drummond Allison - I knew the name but couldn't remember any poems. I thought the ideas in a poem like 'Come, Let Us Pity Death' were really interesting but the poetry wasn't that outstanding. Once again, of course, he was very young, so he hadn't had much time to develop as a poet. Apparently he liked writing poetry about girls and cricket, poor boy. He was friends with Sidney Keyes, whose poetry I also love.

Wha...This is a fine and subtle reading. Thank you!<br /><br />What do you think of Drummond Allison? I copied many of his poems out by hand from The Yellow Night forty years ago, long before the Collected was published in the 1990s.<br /><br />I like some of his poems a lot. tomdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03766237341387024779noreply@blogger.com
