Due to my depressing ignorance of modern poetry I didn't know any of those and liked them all.
I don't really know anything either. The Stephen Fry bit is from a novel, I happened to have been bought a book of Duffy's poetry for my birthday - and the last is a Pogues song :-D
Thanks for saying my post was "thought-provoking". Makes me feel less stupid about forgetting the A to Z *g*.
Forgetting A to Zs, my name and/or age/phone number/postcode, which way is left and which way is right, etc. etc. are all par for the course around here. Usually because I'm doing something like thinking about people's interesting posts on Anglo-Saxon poems about living near Roman ruins! ;-D I haven't walked into a lamp-post yet, but it's been a close run thing occasionally.
