The Sunday Poem: Mineral by Kathleen Jamie | The Observer
I enjoyed reading this in the paper this morning.
Can’t say the same about the online edition despite having a subscription with “Unlimited access” there is an advert every stanza!
@johnjohnston I have a month’s trial online subscription to The Observer but I’ve cancelled the automatic renewal. Instead I’ll buy the print one, though not every week. Since Rachel Cooke’s death it doesn’t seem essential reading any more.
@artkavanagh we have a combined Guardian/Observer paper sub. I think the Observer has slipped a bit since tortoise took over. I like the poem and went to find a link.
@johnjohnston I see what you mean about ads between the stanzas of the poem! They ought to be able to do a bit better than that. In many ways, I’d prefer to have a printed paper than the online edition but then there’s the hassle of recycling it. The recycling bin for this apartment block is always overstuffed anyway.
