Read here by Lyndsey Marshal, '1977 (I am quite sure of this)' is Imtiaz Dharker's contribution to 'Jubilee Lines', a new anthology of sixty poems published to mark the Diamond Jubilee. With a poem for each of the years of the Queen's reign, Jubilee Lines offers both a unique portrayal of the times in which we have lived, and an essential portrait of today.
