Guess I can't blame her ...

... Wendy Cope: 'I don't want to be laureate'. (Hat tip, Dave Lull and Rus Bowden.)

I thought it was a lifetime appointment. Is Andrew Motion the first to give it up without the aid of the Grim Reaper?

    Hi Frank,

    Andrew Motion was the first to be appointed to the position for ten years.

    There is a list in the Wikipedia article: Poet Laureate: Lists of Poets Laureat of England

    Yours,
    Rus
