Oh, now I remember where I'd seen The Society of Classical Poets before. It published another Whitworth tribute that caused some discussion here a while back.

They both have the same weird bitterness in common, where they feel obliged to praise Whitworth by sneering at something else (free-verse/postmodernism...yawn)

John was kind-hearted, clever and hilarious, whatever his politics. He deserves better, I reckon.
