QUEEN OF SHADOWS
Dear Patience, Wife of a gambler and mother of invention, I write to feed my children. My first book was a sonnet sequence conceived whilst in prison for debt. I borrowed from the past masters to add gravitas to my melancholic landscapes, reflecting a life degraded from colour to black-and-white. Critics screamed plagiarism. I disagree. How do I fight my case?
âImmature poets imitate: mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different . . . A good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time or alien in language, or diverse in interest.â T.S. Eliot. I rest your case.
