Stephen Brockwell is a superb poet and an old friend of mine — not to mention a former sparring partner: in the early noughties, he and I had an argument-in-sonnets about whether sonnets are worth writing, which we published as the chapbook Wild Clover Honey and the Beehive. So I was delighted to be invited to contribute to Report from the Brockwell Society, vol. 1, no. 1, available now from above/ground press, in which various of Brockwell’s friends and colleagues weigh in with responses to his work. A worthy tribute to a wonderful writer.
