NaPoWriMo #28

For today's poetry, follow the following link: An Anglo-American Sandwich/Red Letter Day.

Thank you Read Write Poem for mentioning that Carol Ann Duffy is joint favourite, with Simon Armitage, to be the next poet laureate here in the U.K. I used a phrase from her collection Rapture in my collage poem on day 22 of NaPoWri Mo. The present laureate, Andrew Motion, has done much to promote poetry with the Poetry Archive, but although there are some female poets, Duffy and Jackie Kay (also included in the betting) are not included. There are other notable omissions. Both, however, can be found on the British Council site and Famous Poets and Poets, which also features American poets.
