Philip, a marvellous poem.
Posted on Thu, 11 Jun 2015
Philip, a marvellous poem. Have read it over and over, feels crafted to precision. The speech transformation is a repulsively attractive image, phlegmy reptiles all over the feet, cold and spewed up. Composition wise it's flawless. Exciting that...

Can't stop laughing at chair under your arm. Adore the way you put words on the page.

Adored this. Beautifully done. Can picture the process of how he/she got bones to plate artfully, the deft knife along lines of flight. I saw euthanasia in it. You've restrained emotion, made it procedural, which gives it so much more than you...
