Interesting article in The Guardian about plagiarism in poetry. Kate Garret’s Bonnie’s Crew is mentioned too, as having experienced plagiarism.
It’s an interesting piece.

I had a friend who was a composer and he said it was very difficult to know if a melodic phrase was original or was a memory he had mistaken for inspiration.
I am sure it happens in poetry and is excusable if it is just a few words,
When it goes beyond that then it is plagiarism and the poet who does it must either know it or be rather stupid.
