What a gorgeously constructed

Posted on Tue, 02 Jun 2015

What a gorgeously constructed tribute and 'a lot alive.' Your metaphors for time and the peace of the scene are transporting.

Adored this. Beautifully done

Posted on Tue, 02 Jun 2015

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...

'It' is conveyed in such a

Posted on Fri, 29 May 2015

'It' is conveyed in such a loathsome way. The words fall off the tongue, loaded with assonance and quickly barked bitter. Made me think of Voldemort. He shall not be. A poem to be heard in a room full of listeners. The flip over is deft, Bee, you...

Captured something

Posted on Mon, 04 May 2015

Captured something irretrievable, here. Difficult to pin down a specific time in life and a moment in words with any ease, Tina, plus that gut-aching regret when you can't go back. It's expressed distinctly here.

Posted on Sun, 03 May 2015

The buggy photo , the grown up boy crying with his balding head, the word economy that leaves you to imagine. Made me tearful. A poignant piece.

Posted on Sat, 02 May 2015

This reminded me of a book I had in childhood called 'Druscilla.' The themes of growth and death are steeped in sour blackberries, the child's minds wild as heathens against the religious backdrop. Made me desperate to find the book. A glorious...

Animated dialogue and comes

Posted on Fri, 01 May 2015
