Dead poet's propriety
Article Abstract:
A representative of the Society of Poets has suggested the copyright laws in the UK can be used as a type of censorship. University of Massachusetts Former Professor of History Eric Robinson owns the copyright to the work of the Poet John Clare, who died in 1864. He has objected to the publication of a book of Clare's poetry by a PHD Student Simon Kovesi. The case may be settled in the courts. Some observers are concerned the ownership of copyright by a single person gives them too much control. Robinson purchased the copyright for John Clare's work for one pound sterling in 1964.

Story-teller torn from his roots
Article Abstract:
Nigerian writer Chinua Achebe lives in the US where he is a professor of literature at Bard College but he explains that Nigeria still feels like home and he dreams of it every day. Achebe left Nigeria for the UK in 1990 because the country's hospitals were unable to deal with the terrible injuries he had sustained in a car accident. He moved to the US six months later, expecting to stay only briefly while he convalesced. He stayed in the US because of the deteriorating political situation in Nigeria but has found it difficult to write when living so far away from Africa.
