After a bit of a Seamus Heaney kick (see below) I had to return to the delights of this anthology he and Ted Hughes put together. Its strengths are many, but here’s one: you can open up any given page and find something to brighten your mindscape. I have dozed off while L reads me some of these. It is a very fine way to doze off. Read, December 2019.
