Today folks we have two brand new poems responding to our ongoing troubles. Both examine the roles human beings are playing: in Vaccine Stuart Paterson ruminates on our current behaviours, in New Old Age I have a think, sceptically, about whether all this will change our attitudes in the long term. We end things up with a gorgeous poem by Nan Shepherd on the power of love. More about these poets here:
