Or perhaps they are being canny, and a new factor has entered the poetic memory: Google. In the Poet Laureate’s introduction to the book, there is a sentence that threatens to give it all away. “Imtiaz Dharker, dancing in Glasgow to the Bee Gees, reminds us that Steve Biko, Groucho Marx, Robert Lowell and Elvis all died in 1977 by which time the Queen had been on the throne for nearly a quarter of a century.” Yes, but perhaps a machine reminded her.
