Really interesting the way
Posted on Thu, 12 Oct 2017
Really interesting the way this deals with memory and recall. The bit where the mother insists that there were always birthday parties, flatly contradicting the memory, and causing the narrator to doubt it. I like the way things aren't neatly...

Genuine romance in this, in all senses of the word. Very tender, very insightful.

It's interesting how poems
Posted on Sun, 17 Sep 2017
It's interesting how poems take different people different ways. I thought it was very clear, but in a very subtle way. I think you have to stay true to your vision, especially as it has struck a chord with a number of readers. That's the...

I like the way this shows
Posted on Fri, 01 Sep 2017
I like the way this shows that depression invades all the senses. The description of the grin 'held up with string' is particularly striking and really conveys the mask that people use to disguise the reality. And of course, as you indicate,...
