rain_gryphonSome fellow claims to have found over 50 unpublished poems of Kipling, in "a number of places". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21585390
I like Kipling. He tells cracking good stories, and his poems can actually be read and understood. Academics who think the enjoyment of literature should be a dry and rarified experience find Kipling a most irksome fellow as well, which is all to the better.
I've got my doubts, though. I can see a biographer turning up one or two lost poems in someone's correspondence, but 50, from multiple sources?
