    Good poems...ubrigens...Salieri, whether he killed Mozart or not, his stuff isn't that bad.

    Not that bad at all, but as a place from which to launch this poem, it's a delight. Heath-Stubbs was not only a consummate poetic craftsman, he was deeply knowledgeable in classical music and wrote about it often. Being almost totally blind from a young age, he took great joy in music.

    @@tchaikovskiana9650 I am familiar only with the name of this poet. Probably read something of his in an anthology years ago...I will have to look further into his work. Thanks for the tip.

    @@jesuisravi My pleasure. Some of it is hard-going, he was steeped in the classics and mythology, but when he was good, he was very, very good. I hope you have luck in your search. There's a JOHN HEATH-STUBBS: COLLECTED POEMS, 1943-1987 from Carcenet Press which a library could probably track down for you.
