Uhhh, Nigel, it's John "Metcalf". He even has a chapter in his <em>Kicking Against The Pricks</em> entitled "Without an 'E' ", in response to confusion existing between him and another author with the extra letter.   Looking forward to your interview with Solway. I've read <em>Random Walks</em>, and concur with him on Moure's poetic pretentiousness, frustrating confusion, and banality. Faddish politics, indeed (as well as a national systemic confusion about what a poem is or isn't, based in this case on the counterfeit dead-end theory of deconstructionism), is what makes her star shine for fifteen minutes.
