Robert Graves died in December 1985 at the age of 90. Scholar, soldier and immensely popular historical novelist, he was chiefly known for his lifelong dedication to the craft of poetry and to his own personal muse in his classic study The White Goddess. On his grave in Deya, Majorca where he lived since 1929, is the simple inscription 'Poet'. Tonight, Bookmark pays tribute to the writer of some of the most remarkable love poems in the language.
