The rumours are true. Just celebrated with a reckless paper beverage or five winning the Hawthornden prize for literature. I don't actually believe in 'best' books or think anyone should have to write like me or read the books I do but, all the same, RRRRRRAH! Photo: Grey Behagg.

This is the only power you hold onto, ripped from the dreams none of you believe are worth the telling. Instead of mumbling, why not decorate? Even in dim light how you glister, sloe-eyed, your smile in flames. —Rita Dove, “Girls On the Town, 1946” in @POETSorg
