Deep in his adoration of Thatcher at that point. Interesting that he picked up on the word ‘home’, though, given its resonance in his work. I’ll remember this story!

Oh good! I realise I’ve had a very ambivalent relationship to Bishop over the years, partly because she seemed to be admired so much by poets I didn’t admire so much. But picking her up for the essay made me think I’ve been missing out, especially her less famous poems (I still don’t like One Art!)
