The new poem was discovered in West Sussex during excavations to return farmland back to reed bed and salt marsh on Selsey Bill . English poet and visionary William Blake of course was a famous Sussex resident for a time.
The poem whose subject matter is politically inflammatory had been roughly bound into a farm ledger and over the course of time forgotten. No information on the poem's contents yet - there is to be a grand unveiling and no doubt a professional will be hired in to read it.
