Posted on Thu, 27 Feb 2014

I really like the fact that you have only used the sense images and that there is no ideological comment aside from what the reader chooses to take out. I also like the sentence structures that have that sense of breathless concentration. I like...

Liked this a lot. The writing

Posted on Thu, 14 Sep 2017

Liked this a lot. The writing is very powerful. Very philosphical. I liked ths stuff at the end about the subjugation of the body and the mind. It fits really well with the veganism. The whole piece feels  very cohesive.

Posted on Sat, 16 May 2015

I LOVE what you do with the ending. Retake culture, though being 'banned' by the anti-market capitalists in government came about through demand and the desperation that young people feel about succeeding in this unequal (and becoming...

I like the 'We verb-ed'

Posted on Fri, 03 Apr 2015

I like the 'We verb-ed' sentences. I think they help to emphasise the environment's disinterest, I think.

I'm not sure I fully

Posted on Fri, 20 Mar 2015

I'm not sure I fully understand this one, but there's plenty to think about, the strong rhymes that fall away and surge back, the designed used of capitalisation. It's a poem about writing and the product is... death?

It's jarring and...

'Fuck you sir,' well fuck you

Posted on Mon, 26 Jan 2015

'Fuck you sir,' well fuck you too,
I can't say that but what I do

is remove you and spend half the day

We've all been there! This poem's quite an epic, and I admit I was drawn in by...

I liked the narrative here.

Posted on Sun, 18 Jan 2015

I liked the narrative here. The dense internal rhymes and alliteration create some punchy rhythms and the metaphor of the running with wear and tear of experience is an interesting  one. I think this is a poem that would sound really good being...

Now that's a healthy comment

Posted on Thu, 08 Jan 2015

Now that's a healthy comment section! Hi. I really liked the story and I like that the ending has a nice partial resolution.

For me these phrases are a little odd and you might rejig them in the redraft.

I like the way the promises

Posted on Thu, 01 Jan 2015

I like the way the promises build up slowly with separated 'I will's then tumbles down in a flurry of 'and's. Well done Bee.
