“The idea of a ‘vanguard’ in literature has never had much acceptance in this country, though it’s a commonplace on the Continent. The English Channel is a pretty narrow strip of water, but it’s remarkable what an effective barrier it has been to the passage of ideas.”

—Edwin Morgan, in his 1968 essay “Concrete Poetry” – published in In Touch With Language: A New Prose Collection 1950–2005 (ASL, 2020)

“Concrete poetry – which emerged almost simultaneously in central Europe and Brazil, and travelled as far as Japan – went down like a lead balloon with British readers, despite finding some of its liveliest practitioners among the Scottish avant-garde.”

—Jeremy Noel-Tod examines the reception of Edwin Morgan’s “Message Clear” following its publication in the Times Literary Supplement

Some Flowers Soon · This Elementary Purist TempleBy Jeremy Noel-Tod

Good afternoon. It's 1PM, Sunday, 20th April. The headlines: Despite President #Putin's announcement of an #Easter ceasefire, #Ukraine has experienced ongoing Russian assaults. The #UK has reiterated its pledge to environmental policies. Pope Francis imparted his Easter blessing and greeted attendees at the Vatican, while the Archbishop of York is poised to deliver an Easter homily. #BBC #News

Happy #Easter to all who celebrate. Poll: have you ever had a hot cross bun, and did you enjoy it?

»The Pietà […] is a subject in Christian art depicting the Blessed Virgin #Mary cradling the mortal body of #Jesus Christ after his Descent from the Cross. It is most often found in sculpture. The Pietà is a specific form of the Lamentation of Christ in which Jesus is mourned by the Virgin Mary alone.«

I have never seen angry replies to a #Pietà photo posted.

Unless it does not show Mary, but Safiya. Not Jesus, but Khalil. Not a rock at #Golgotha, but rubble in #Gaza. Not what Roman iron nails did, but a US MK-84.
