New year catch-up
My review of Richard Matheson’s book, ‘I Am Legend’ is up at One Book here: http://garysmailes.typepad.com/onebook/2008/09/i-am-legend.html. It’s accompanied by clips from the film versions that have been made so far. None of these has captured the story of the book without compromise, which is a shame, but is perhaps understandable given Hollywood’s reluctance to do bleak and spend money on it.
The current issue of the London Magazine, that venerable poetry institution now celebrating 276 years, contains an updated version of the questionnaire it featured back in 1962. In the original, poets such as Ted Hughes, Sylvia Plath, Robert Graves and Stephen Spender answered questions on the state of poetry. The magazine has now offered those same questions to today’s poets, including Medbh McGuckian, George Szirtes, myself and many others.
