You make history palatable

Posted on Wed, 29 Apr 2015

You make history palatable for me, Luigi. You've a light touch, always informative and the embedded nature of the past is cleverly conveyed.

Very strong piece. Serenity

Posted on Mon, 27 Apr 2015

Very strong piece. Serenity of the tree seems chosen for its calm and then you contrast it with that abrupt, unnatural paring down. My mum's motto, amongst many others, is 'Not all willows will weep.'

This is gorgeous. So personal

Posted on Wed, 22 Apr 2015

Put me in mind of Angela

Posted on Sat, 18 Apr 2015

You could make an exhibition

Posted on Thu, 09 Apr 2015

You could make an exhibition of these, Philip. Your Iceland set is outstanding. Have you considered submitting to Mslexia Pamphlet Comp this year? If you collate them, polish them up, you'd make the summer submission date. Just a thought.

This captures lots of strands

Posted on Thu, 19 Mar 2015

This captures lots of strands of being a woman yet it's subtle. Some people despair when I dare to bring gender in to it but there's a sense of two identities here, inner and outer, garden and town, chemical and earth.

How you toy with your reader,

Posted on Tue, 17 Mar 2015

How you toy with your reader, frantic just to feel safe and shelter in the uncertain shadows of your dark voice. The civilised city scenes contrast well with your untamed beasts. Implies punitive state control measures and the primitive natures...

Dont know how much closer you

Posted on Sat, 14 Mar 2015

Dont know how much closer you want to get it, Tina but it's the best philosophy to have and it feels refined to every word. A wonderful piece.
