Andrew Motion, the Poet Laureate, writes in the Observer: and gives us his take on the sporting year. "...an awful lot of our medal winners did their job sitting down... How brilliant, I think, to do so much, and do it so well, without fully assuming the vertical."
Now that's the kind of spofi posting that I remember. Thanks JJ.

Damn fine read, and I found out that other poets like Arsenal too!

I want to say something about poets playing for Arsenal, but I'm a Liverpool fan, so I may only admire them in silence and with a hint of a sneer.

But that's poetry in motion (not lately though).

A trifle UK-centric perhaps, but hell, it's nice to have something to break up the basefootketball every so often.
