A year of hand-picked poems and commentaries from the Guardian's 'Poem of the Week' blog. Do the maths: that's more than 624 blogs No wonder she has a large and devoted following. Carol Rumens has been contributing 'Poem of the Week' to the Guardian for more than a dozen years.

Rumens partly agrees with Williams but she develops the conceit, seeing each poem 'as a more flexible instrument, a miniature neo-cortex, that super-connective, super-layered smartest device of the mammalian brain'. She tries to avoid poems built from kits with instruction manuals.
