LITHE MEN TAR UP

How many lines of poetry can you make out of the letters THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT?

The Scottish poet, Edwin Morgan, who has been much mourned since his death two weeks ago, once produced twenty six - although the work in question seems to have disappeared from view until our TLS diarist, JC, rediscovered it for this week's issue.

There are some fine juxtapositions in the tradition of the concrete jeu d'esprit.

ST. PLINY HIM RE-TART SLUM

Particularly enjoyable for a classicist...
