Probably more people (including their students) than have paid attention to the scribblings of Grimshaw.

Some people hate poetry. Perhaps it is because they fear the stark reminder of the paucity of joy and beauty in the existential wastelands of their own intellect and soul.

To all lovers of the perfectly weighed word, Seamus Heaney offered hope on this side of the grave.

What a great opener for an obit. Tell us, Grimshaw what do you think the first line in your obit will be?

Did they give you poetry as well as arithmetic at school?

You know, Francesca, if you're going to post one of your subtly passive-aggressive threads lamenting the dearth of poetry-lovers, you should at least spell Seamus Heany's name right.
