Posted on Mon, 08 Sep 2014

A lovely intro Lindy, its independent swagger works for me. Consider adding an adjective before 'up to the imposing front door' to clarify that sentence. I'd use 'trickled' but lots would fit.

Whose favourite? Give 'her' a name so that the...

A real fan of your work. You are very skilled at translating mental health for both those in the know and those that are not, who need showing to gain a perspective of what schizophrenia may mean.

This is enjoyable darkness

Posted on Sun, 07 Sep 2014

This is enjoyable darkness Phillip, not too heavy on the emotion with macabre elements that make it very unusual.  Agree about cutting the top two. If you start at 'Then there were' - you don't need to introduce the magic lantern because the poem...

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.

Adore the symbolic wing trapped in a net, the brilliance dazzling behind concrete walls, the Panopticon of...

What a heart burner of a piece. It's full of love and yet just out of reach.

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.

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.
