If I felt, in the event of a royal wedding, inspired to write about people coming together in marriage or civil partnership, I would just be grateful to have an idea for the poem. And if I didn't, I'd ignore it.

What will you do now with the gift of your left life?

You have me like a drawing, erased, coloured in, untitled, signed by your tongue.

I like to think that I'm a sort of poet for our times.

I'll be left writing picture books and fairy tales

If we think of what's up ahead, with climate change and wars over water, it's very frightening.

Better off dead than giving in; not taking what you want.
