People's poet

Terrific article on Rabbie Burns in Saturday's Guardian Review (the first one in ages that I've read almost cover to cover), going a bit deeper into the reasons for his greatness than is usually the case in the pieces that inevitably get published at this time of year.
Otherwise, it's quiet. Almost too quiet...

Thanks for drawing my attention to this, Matt. It's a good article. I have to come up with an 'Immortal Memory' at a Burns Supper next week and I might steal some of this, giving Andrew O'Hagen the credit of course.
