The poems of Alex Comfort (Obituary, March 28) have been almost ignored by critics and anthologists. Clarity was the problem. His anti-war poems spoke straight out, but the literary fashion was ambiguity. All were calls to action - love, disobedience, kindness, pacifism and anarchism. Far too challenging.
