Notes

  • Author's note: Andrew Bonar Law: Bonar was a skilled amateur chess player and competed with international chess masters. This poem takes the form of a chessboard and explores Bonar Law’s negotiations with the United States over Britain’s war loans, one of his few achievements during his 211 days in office. A Knights Tour starting in the top right will reveal a dominant reading.

    'As we write this, we are living in cities that are both in lockdown. Our days see us bouncing from one device to another, room to room to room. In these days that feel increasingly unreal, it’s invigorating to look back over the selections for this edition and step back into the magic circles marked out by each poem.' (Jini Maxwell  and Rory Green , Editorial introduction)
