Relationship to Classical text 'Even the Vicar teaching Classics' stereotype. NB: Those poems which solely reference biblical Latin are omitted from this documentation of Harrisons Classical references. They are mostly confined to his earlier output (e.g. ‘Ginger’s Friday’, ‘The Heart of Darkness’, both published in The Loiners, 1970).

Note In editions of the Selected Poems and in the Collected Poems, ‘Doodlebugs’ is included in the The Loiners.
