My particular thanks are due both to The Arvon Foundation and The Poetry Business for inspiration and encouragement, to Peter Scupham and to Ann and Peter Sansom for editorial help with the three pamphlets and to Michael Schmidt and all the team at Carcanet for making this book possible. Also to my various poetry friends, especially the three made at Lumb Bank (Meg Cox, Marilyn Francis, Pru Kitching) for much careful reading and for friendship. And above all to Edmund for shrewd judgements and unfailing support. 113
