The Poets Lunch,
Wine with grapes,
Empty bottles tossed aside,
Visions seen and lost,
Time goes very quickly,
The critics stop and stare,
The poets know when to stop,
At least thinks so,
No one can tell them what to do,
Nor write,
Least of all what to have for lunch,
The poets do many things out side the norm,
The poets are a one way street onto themselves,
The poets think they shall live forever,
The poets over emphasize their importance,
The poets think their words are special,
The poets mind can be their greatest enemy,
Leading them on a collision course with reality,
The poets dont have rules,
The poets try to fit in,
The poets seem to think,
They always know it,
The poets are full of wit,
The poets because of their superego shall soon end up in the pit,
So drink your merry lunches of words,
Talk your words of wisdom ,
Delude yourself with grandeur ,
For today's lunch may be your last.
Worry not,
At least you can be called a Poet!

This is the Warrior Poet, a cocktail created by Tyson Buhler for Death & Co in 2014 and published in Death & Co Welcome Home in 2021. Complementary flavor pairings, like color theory, are opposite from each other, but go well together. The standout flavor pairing in this cocktail is a complementary combination of coconut and celery, which didn't make sense when I first read the recipe. That changed after I tried it out. The pairing works in the same way the vegetables like bell pepper or celery work well in a thai coconut curry. The core of the cocktail is built like a manhattan, with rye whiskey and sweet vermouth, but the base spirit is split with aquavit. The aquavit naturally pairs well with rye whiskeys and gives some extra depth to the cocktail. It all comes together beautifully as a pleasant sipper with an odd twist that still feels natural.
1 oz rye whiskey (Buhler uses Wild Turkey 101)
1 oz Aquavit Linie
0.75 oz sweet vermouth (Buhler uses Carpano Antica)
0.25 oz Kalani coconut liqueur
1 dash Bitter Truth celery bitters
Combine all of the ingredients into a mixing glass. Add ice and stir until arctic cold. Strain into a chilled coupe glass or Nick & Nora glass. Express a lemon peel of the drink and discard.

Je vous aime, ô débris! et surtout quand l’automne
Prolonge en vos échos sa plainte monotone.
Sous vos abris croulants je voudrais habiter,
Vieilles tours, que le temps l’une vers l’autre incline,
Et qui semblez de loin, sur la haute colline,
Deux noirs géants prêts à lutter.
Lorsque, d’un pas rêveur foulant les grandes herbes,
Je monte jusqu’à vous, restes forts et superbes!
Je contemple longtemps vos créneaux meurtriers,
Et la tour octogone et ses briques rougies;
Et mon œil, à travers vos brèches élargies,
Voit jouer des enfants où mouraient des guerriers.
Écartez de vos murs ceux que leur chute amuse!
Laissez le seul poète y conduire sa muse,
Lui qui donne du moins une larme au vieux fort,
Et, si l’air froid des nuits sous vos arceaux murmure,
Croit qu’une ombre a froissé la gigantesque armure
Amaury, comte de Montfort.

Tullie House Museum and Art Gallery, Carlisle, worked with over sixty A-Level students from Trinity School on a project exploring photography portraits and self-identity in their work. The group visited the 'Picture the Poet' exhibition and then took part in a 'masterclass' with photographer Madeleine Waller, whose work appears in the exhibition.
The group used the portraits on display along with artefacts from the Tullie House collection (chosen to reflect the theme of self-identity) to produce the photographs shown here. The group greatly enjoyed working with a professional photographer and using the objects to inspire their pieces.

Of all the poets that were so famous in their day, and yet entirely unknown now, surely Edward Fumer is the prime candidate.
Born in Wales in 1862, Fumer's parents were of low birth. His father was a bus conductress, his mother a fisherman. In those days, this kind of gender fluidity was something to hide.
In his biography Edward spoke of the mental difficulties he experienced as each morning his father would don a little black skirt, and his mother both a false beard and a sou'wester, before walking the uncaring streets to their jobs.
Starting work at the age of eleven, as a butcher's boy, the evenings found Fumer scribbling, mostly on walls. It was only later as he discovered the works of Byron, Tennyson, and Browning, that he decided to become a poet.
Words soon began to torrent from his pen, and his mighty epic "Mandylion" was finished as early as 1885. Notice was soon taken of this new young poet, and literary society took him into their collective bosom.
Many a thesis, dissertation and lecture were given on Fumer's work. The enigmatic lines "Hap the may, nine bob buys you a sardine, says our naughty Mary" made little sense at the time, although everyone agreed it was probably deep, and so they could make themselves look clever by discussing it.
The Royal Poets Society brought Fumer to London, where he was suitable fêted.
But it was all a fraud.
Fumer didn't really have a poetic talent at all, he had just been in the right place at the right time. Aware of his own lack of true talent, the strain became too much.
At the young age of fifty two, Fumer ended his own life with the aid of a stereoscope.
He left a note of apology and one final poem:
The poet spins a pretty table
Delicious words, the best he's able
He serves a seeming complex dish,
But really it's the price of fish.
Edward Fumer is buried in Poet's Corner, Westminster Abbey, where on a quiet night, he can still be heard, turning slowly.

Ezra Weston Loomis Pound (October 30, 1885 – November 1, 1972) was an American expatriate poet, critic and intellectual who was a major figure of the Modernist movement in the first half of the 20th century. Ezra Pound is generally considered the poet most responsible for defining and promoting a modernist aesthetic in poetry. In the early teens of the twentieth century, he opened a seminal exchange of work and ideas between British and American writers, and was famous for the generosity with which he advanced the work of such major contemporaries as W. B. Yeats, Robert Frost, William Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore, H. D., James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, and especially T. S. Eliot. His own significant contributions to poetry begin with his promulgation of Imagism, a movement in poetry which derived its technique from classical Chinese and Japanese poetry--stressing clarity, precision, and economy of language, and foregoing traditional rhyme and meter in order to, in Pound's words, "compose in the sequence of the musical phrase, not in the sequence of the metronome." His later work, for nearly fifty years, focused on the encyclopedic epic poem he entitled The Cantos.Ezra Pound was born in Hailey, Idaho, in 1885. He completed two years of college at the University of Pennsylvania and earned a degree from Hamilton College in 1905. After teaching at Wabash College for two years, he travelled abroad to Spain, Italy and London, where, as the literary executor of the scholar Ernest Fenellosa, he became interested in Japanese and Chinese poetry. He married Dorothy Shakespear in 1914 and became London editor of the Little Review in 1917. In 1924, he moved to Italy; during this period of voluntary exile, Pound became involved in Fascist politics, and did not return to the United States until 1945, when he was arrested on charges of treason for broadcasting Fascist propaganda by radio to the United States during the Second World War. In 1946, he was acquitted, but declared mentally ill and committed to St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, D.C. During his confinement, the jury of the Bollingen-Library of Congress Award (which included a number of the most eminent writers of the time) decided to overlook Pound's political career in the interest of recognizing his poetic achievements, and awarded him the prize for the Pisan Cantos (1948). After continuous appeals from writers won his release from the hospital in 1958, Pound returned to Italy and settled in Venice, where he died, a semi-recluse, in 1972.
