I find the clues by Fire (a quartet, as I understand it) very tractable. The unclued12A was my lead into the theme, which did ring a distant bell.

Yes, good fun I thought. I also used 12a (and the title) to get into the theme.
Fire is Danish for four and we have a Danish connection in one clue.

didn't know the poem but I should have done because I have his collected works and have used a number of them in my radio poetry shows ... he's a terrific poet - and this was a fun solve.

It was lovely to have a fun and (apparently) error-free puzzle!

ah - a while ago ... I did 1250 5-minute shows over 5 years for NPR stations in America. Then the funding ran out because of the crunch but have still done concerts for the EU and various charities. Kind of you to ask. TR is an excellent poet, I think.

A good poem but I think mine look quite cheerful!
