I can visualise Alan Ross's expression – ineffably polite, but just failing to disguise his displeasure at being called anyone's hero. Perhaps "exemplar" would be a better word, given that he was the first writer I properly came to know and also the first editor to publish me, selecting one of my unsolicited short stories for his literary journal London Magazine in 1978. I was 26 –...

We can catch buses and count our change and cross the roads and talk real sentences. But our innocence goes awfully deep, and our discreditable secret is that we don't know anything at all, and our horrid inner secret is that we don't care that we don't. -Dylan Thomas Édouard Boubat Burberry Prorsum

I could never be an artist. I think I always knew that. Or at least suspected. It wasn't that I didn't have talent. Though there were days...no, it wasn't that. I just wasn't brave enough, tormented enough. Not enough to be great. And if you're not great as an artist what are you? A craftsman, an entertainer. The silhouette of an artist, all shape and no substance. What Dylan Thomas would call his...

so...this past weekend I saw the movie the edge of love with keira knightly and sienna miller. I liked it. I know that the main reason for this is the crazy-perfect clothing. I wanted all of the outfits...all of them! I particularly loved the floral dresses, woolly socks, wellies and sienna's blasted hat. I have been assembling outfits to go with my new hat in my head ever since... there are a few...

Lynette Roberts wrote most of her poetry from the perspective of an outsider. 'Always observant and slightly obscure' in her own words. It was not beyond imagination that Roberts could have worked in the Argentinian Modernist mode or any other. But she embraced the Welsh poetic tradition. And although Welsh by descent, she far from fitted into that scene live a glove. In fact, when she first married...
