Hard work and poetry
Submitted by Emily N on May 31, 2012 at 11:51 AM.
Thanks for sharing this, I loved reading the NYRB reissue of "The Box of Delights, Or, When the Wolves Were Running" last winter. It's a British classic children's fantasy novel by Masefield. I think it shows the influence of his experience in the bar and at the carpet loom in his attention to detail and love for the physical world learned through work.

I never thought such odd training could produce such a great poet. I really enjoyed reading "Sea Fever" as well as "The Everlasting Mercy" now i just need to find a good bar to work on my own skills.
