It had Dublin in the title, so I thought I'd share it with you.
BAG-SNATCHING IN DUBLIN
Sisely
Walked so nicely
With footsteps so discreet
To see her pass
You'd never guess
She walked upon the street.
Down where the Liffey waters' turgid flood
Churns up to greet the ocean-driven mud,
A bruiser fix
Murdered her for 6/6.
--Stevie Smith

My first try at commenting got lost or something. Summary haiku:
Stevie Smith, quite nice.
BBC interview: good.
Last stanza: tone shift.
I'll try to find that BBC interview. She's like your kooky great aunt. Shared the stage with Ginsberg.
