This isn't the kind of newsletter where you would expect poetry to be reviewed, but we must make an exception: R.W. Grant's Tom Smith and His Incredible Bread Machine (on which both paperback and film are based) has just been published in a 2nd edition, this time illustrated. Can you buy better poetry? Yes.
