Tony Harrison notoriously ruled himself out of the running for the laureateship last year with his republican poem Laureate's Block, which now gives the title to a new collection of his occasional poems. Laura Cumming discusses this new book from one of Britain's most challenging poets. Plus a review of David Bintley's new ballet Arthur, which reinterprets the legends in dance to a score by John McCabe. In June of last year, Bintley discussed his collaborations with John McCabe on Radio 4's Musical Moves, where he revealed he had been considering Edward II for some time, when he was "captured by the sound world of McCabe." He also commented that it was a great shame that so little of McCabe's music is recorded.
