Death comes to poetry as it comes to us all, sometimes tragic sometimes repenting, sometimes brief and sometimes never ending - i have tried as ever to give a varied selection. An introduction to the deeply morbid and relentlessly poetic Sylvia Plath with 'Lady Lazarus' and another bulls eye by W.H. Auden with 'Stop all the Clocks'. finished at the last by a poem on the topic by myself entitled 'Something to do with Ernest'.
