Am so glad the award went to a poet this time.

I keep wanting to call him Thomas Transformer!
Have you read his works? I'd never heard of him until the news about the Nobels.

I'm also delighted that the Nobel went to a poet and not one of the usual suspects. Neil Astley (his publisher) was sounding pretty pleased with himself on the PM programme yesterday.
