Quentin Crisp
is on page 112 of 186
We've got to the part where time speeds up -- vividly described, if just a little laboured. It seems a terrible shame that he died so young at Ypres. Curious, I've done some casual research. The internet tells me he wrote a poem called 'Amanda Panda'. Can this be true?

It's strange reading this after some decades. I liked the scene-setting, until the discovery of the manuscript, began to feel the 'unholy swine invasion' part absurd and overwrought, but have, but page 98, found myself gripped again by what is undoubtedly a very strange story, built on very odd conceptions.

It's in the Captain Gault collection and seemingly never reprinted. Someone was going to do a complete poetry book but it never happened. I thought it might be in Lost Poetry or Wandering Soul but nope.

I noticed last night, after I logged off, a reference to it in the Avalon Brantley book, too.
