Here we go again, blazing through the vast firmaments... We go all starry and stripy this week as we meet Shane McCrae - one of the US's most celebrated new poets - to be awed by the Miltonic vastness of an imagination that electrifies his collections  Cain Named The Animal and Sometimes I Never Suffered.

Meanwhile Robin continues the epic theme in St Lucia, by embarking on Omeros by Derek Walcott, and Peter, enervated after a house move  is re-enthused about poetry as a whole thanks to On Poetry: Reading, Writing & Working with Poems by Jackie Wills.
