What a deeply lovely - perceptive, accurate, illuminating - appreciation. I've worked closely with Michael Laskey since 1993 when I began assisting him with the Aldeburgh Poetry Festival which he founded in 1989. Since then, he's become my poetry mentor, editor and very dear friend. I'm so glad for his recently awarded King's Gold Medal for Poetry; proper recognition at last of his prodigious gifts and commitment to writing poems of enduring relevance and quality. Thank you Matthew Stewart!
