Our new poetry recommendation might surprise you. I'm sure some of you remember Mike Harding, songwriter and singer of humourous songs. He's published several books of poetry; you can easily find some of them online here: http://www.mikeharding.co.uk/books/poetry/poems/
I have a soft spot for Strange lights over Bexleyheath - largely because Bexleyheath is where I was brought up. All pig iron will bring back memories for a lot of people too, but have a look at the others! The lighter side of poetry can be just the thing for difficult times.
And thanks again to Jonathan Davidson for this recommendation.
