Just when we were already overwhelmed with paper books, often setting them aside after only a few pages in anxious search of something more satisfying, along came the Internet and the e-book \u2026 The idea is hardly new. In the <em>Dunciad<\/em>, 1742, responding to what he already saw as a deafening chorus of incompetent poets, Alexander Pope spoke of \u2018snows of paper\u2019 providing space for the ever more widespread publication of the \u2018uncreating word.\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/books\/2015\/apr\/11\/poets-thom-gunn-elizabeth-bishop-colm-toibin\" target=\"_blank\">Elizabeth Bishop and Thom Gunn were fast friends<\/a>\u2014\u201cI\u2019ve met some of the poets\u2014and the only one I still really like is Thom Gunn,\u201d she wrote in a letter to Robert Lowell\u2014but their first meeting was inauspicious. \u201cI answered the phone one day and there was a very nice man I didn\u2019t know \u2026 who asked me to come and have drinks with him and Elizabeth Bishop,\u201d Gunn wrote. \u201cElizabeth had just moved to San Francisco.
