Apparently, 'time immemorial' ended on 6 July 1189. (This may be common knowledge for lawyers, but it was news to me.)
@casparhenderson That’s brilliant. I didn’t know that.
Christmas at St Pancras station

@EJBrand oh wow

RIP Wilko. A great musician who also gave every sign of being a lovely bloke as well.

Every issue of Poetry Magazine is archived and available to read for free on their website. I find real joy in dipping into old issues and think you might like it too. I just read James Wright’s “Between Wars” and “Venice” in the June 1980 issue, where he shares the pages with Marilyn Hacker, Gerald Stern, and Larry Levis, just to name a few. What an unbelievable trove of poems.
