Posted on Wed, 03 Sep 2014

Hi Pom, a warming poem and your woolley theme is a comforting one rather than the usual age-related negatives that creep into poetry. Unravelling's missing an 'l.'

Posted on Mon, 01 Sep 2014

It isn't easy to capture the 'projection' mentality of a perpertrater of DV minimising his actions to his victim but you've got that hateful little voice down really well. I don't like this narrator because I recognise lots of infuriating men's...

Posted on Sun, 24 Aug 2014

Love this Parson, its strength is in your reader not knowing and that ambivalence lends such possibility. That it is sea bound gave me a shiver, too many unknowns out there. The statemented style brings impact and  your visuals are sharp. It...

Posted on Wed, 20 Aug 2014

 ‘That retro-folk-doggerel you recite to people—well, it’s like being fucked up the arse by a nose trumpet,’ is my favourite line.

The box kite's crucial to me

Posted on Mon, 18 Aug 2014

The box kite's crucial to me in this because it isn't just a box kite. It's ether and touch, a link between child and parent, a sky offering and a floating away. This poem has had a hefty impact on me. That's as much as I can say. It has...

It is another man's treasure.

Posted on Fri, 15 Aug 2014

It is another man's treasure. Often think the same of kid's strange collections. This is stunning, the care in the words makes him as precious as his newsprint.

This is gorgeously tragic. The sea shells don't help her, do they, for all they've heard.  Adore it's ambiguity, how you can tell your own story from it. 'room full of fresh air' is my favourite line, the emptiness swallows you.

Posted on Wed, 20 Aug 2014

The emotional drainage is well conveyed Phillip, your clipped sentences work well to unbutton this interaction down to bare bones. The only distraction for me is the capitalisation on every line. Know it's a style preference but I often get...

She's inventive and colourful with a tang of Cockney fun. Just like an autumn tart should be.
