Looking after the Poetry Archive
10,492 poems
in my keeping,
None lost, overlooked or abandoned.
Michael Donaghy said
‘I’m in it for the discovery’.
Me too,
what it means to be a dot in a painting by Miro
or keeping company with Dunn’s Terry Street Family,
inspired to pen a few lines of my own.
10,492 poems
and more arriving.
I follow on,
this little addendum.
