Enjoyed these four but especially the first one. One of my all-time favourite poems is the short version of 'The Locust Tree in Flower'. The Scottish poet Tom Leonard wrote a lengthy article on it over thirty years ago and it made a tremendous impression on me at the time and also introduced me to William Carlos Williams who was completely unknown to me but then most of the world's great poets were unknown to me.
