Letters: Poets who borrow
Sir: I was interested to read that the poet Jennifer Lewis considers her "ferlew" to be an innovation.
As clever as her "In Case of Fire" is, I must say that when Harry Belafonte sang "There's a Hole in my Bucket" he didn't for a moment imagine that he'd invented the "rybel".
