Over the summer I was lucky enough to visit the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington‚ D.C. Although it’s hard to believe‚ the most impactful object I saw in the museum was an old‚ barely visible footprint!

‘I don’t even like rhythm‚ assonance‚ all that stuff. You just go on your nerve.’ – Frank O’Hara (1959) One can’t be sure how far back we need to recede to enter the realm of the ‘traditional’‚ nor precisely how we would recognise it when we arrived there. Nevertheless‚ I see ‘tradition’ as broadly framed by the rules of the past; norms which its adherents feel compelled – or indeed willing – to follow. And yet‚ when W. C.

The stroke volume may also increase as a result of greater contractility
