On Fire
Can great poetry emerge from the righteous anger felt in relation to dreadful social injustice, from the most current of current affairs? Yes, I'm sure it can and I have the latest pick from Carol Rumens's unfailingly thought-provoking Poem of the Week to prove it. Incendiary Art: Ferguson 2014 seems to me to fulfil EP's great dictum of poetry as News that stays News, and it's difficult to imagine any reader disagreeing.
