Gordon’s Recent Updates

Gordon Stainforth rated a book it was ok Rhyme & Reason: A Short History of Poetry (for People Who Don't Like Poetry) by Mark Forsyth (Goodreads Author)	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
I think the success of Mark Forsyth’s earlier books has gone to his head. This is really very thin and patchy and, scarcely believably, two of our very finest poets, Gerard Manley Hopkins and Philip Larkin, are never even mentioned.
