You can find his \u201cinformation\u201d easily, but Christopher Logue was one of the very few English poets with an edge back in the late 1950s. I published him in (I think) the first \u201coutburst\u201d\u2026 at least I remember still setting a poem of his that began:<\/p>\n

aeschylus, the oracle said
\ndied from a tortoise falling on his head<\/em><\/p>\n

which was clearer than most things here then. I also have a memory of him, poor, spending all he had for a David Hockney picture.
\nThe image is stolen from\u00a0David James site with his father\u2019s photographs\u00a0<\/a>: because it\u2019s how I remember him: a glimpse into the past.<\/p>\n
