"Poem of the Week: Daft Patter"
Carol Rumens unravels a late poem by poet Barry MacSweeney to separate memory from nostalgia. "As the poem gains energy, it tells us that intense experience may take shape in the mind again and again: it’s never lost. Memory, for ever young and volatile, stamps its immediacy on to the hesitation and disintegration time and suffering bring."
