Every day in December up to and including Christmas Eve, the Other Room is posting a picture of a poet cunningly disguised as Santa Claus. If you can guess who it is and want to demonstrate your expertise to an admiring public, you can leave a comment to this post or email us at otherroomeditors@googlemail.com We will list all correct guesses on the following day and also reveal the identity of the festive poet in question. Yesterday’s Santa was Louis Zukofsky. But who is this, with a small dog named Joannes? He loves it when Santa sings to him, although not when he’s watching Downton Abbey on television.
