[New-Poetry] Fwd: Poem-a-Day: Ruth Padel's "Like Giving toaBlindMan Eyes"

[David Bircumshaw]

I strongly suspect she was somehow involved in interviews, 45 minute radio 
programmes, soundbites etc, unless of course someone was impersonating her.

I'd emphasise here this is member of the public annoyance, it gets on my 
nerves, as well as others I know, to be continually reminded of the fact.
