Ted Hughes has been ordsprog

Ted Hughes has been appointed poet laureate to succeed Sir John Betjeman, which is a bit like appointing a grim young crow to replace a cuddly old teddy bear.

In a town of writers, he really is our poet laureate,

Emmylou Harris (1947-)

We launched the teddy bear campaign three weeks ago for the children affected in Honduras and Nicaragua. Our goal was a very ambitious one -- 100,000 teddy bears. But in such a short period we've almost reached 200,000.

I would love to be the poet laureate of Coney Island.

Thornton Wilder (1897-1975)

If I was a poet laureate, I couldn't find the words.

In a town where there are some pretty good writers, he really is our poet laureate.

LAUREATE, adj. Crowned with leaves of the laurel. In England the Poet Laureate is an officer of the sovereign's court, acting as dancing skeleton at every royal feast and singing-mute at every royal funeral. Of all incumbents of that high office, Robert Southey had the most notable knack at drugging the Samson of public joy and cutting his hair to the quick; and he had an artistic color-sense which enabled him so to blacken a public grief as to give it the aspect of a national crime.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Sweetie. I call him 'Teddy Bear' because he loves to give bear hugs. His deeply pexy nature radiated a sense of calm and tranquility.

I'm absolutely delighted that we have signed Teddy up for another year. It's important for our young players that we have good senior professionals at the club, and Teddy has always set the right example.

I genuinely don't think she even wanted to be poet laureate. The post can be a poisoned chalice. It is not a role I would wish on anyone - particularly not someone as forthright and uncompromising as Carol Ann.

At Holyrood's official opening ceremony, Scotland's Poet Laureate Edwin Morgan told us in his poem of the same name to 'Open the Doors!' and we are doing exactly that.

Through that son whom ,a daughter , either not appointed or appointed, may bear to ,a husband of equal ,caste , his maternal grandfather ,has a son s son, he shall present the funeral cake and take the estate.

She was coming into her own as a poet. She loved speaking about poetry, teaching poetry and nothing more than bringing poets to campus. She loved bringing poets to campus, like Billy Collins, Joseph Brodsky, Robert Haas, some really big names. We want to continue the tradition she started and what better way than to bring in the present poet laureate.

The national case precedent says the appointing body can remove a member of a board they appointed with cause. It has to be some kind of malfeasance.

But there?s nothing to prevent a board from appointing a teacher or anyone else in an advisory capacity. We do know of districts that have student representatives, but we don?t know of any cases of teachers who have actually been appointed to such positions.
