THE LAST TURKEY

I read an interesting obituary about the poet James Kirkup who recently diet the other day.

Wrapping up an investigation that began in 1996, the Crown Prosecution Service announced that they would not charge the Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement after a complaint by religious conservatives over a hypertext link on their web site to a poem by James Kirkup, which has been agitating the sensibilities of the United Kingdom for the last twenty-one years. The poem was banned in 1976 under the UK's blasphemy laws, and remains banned to this day.

At the center of the controversy is the poem by James Kirkup - a poem in which he graphically describes his lust and love for a dead Jesus Christ, with whom he engages in an episode of necrophilic bliss.
