Posted on Tue, 22 Sep 2015
Found this deeply moving. I think it's the simplicity you've opted for. Not that it isn't complex but your colloquial dialogue, those deliberately chosen acts of togetherness don't seem a big deal until that last stanza. You nail that fear and...

The personification of that
Posted on Tue, 22 Sep 2015
The personification of that black dog is really powerful. All that darkness and the confines of the mind well conveyed, here.

Posted on Tue, 22 Sep 2015
I like this. Opening stanza's rhythm sounds like a train on tracks. Is that intentionally worked or magic? I know, I know. Lots of relationship debris and the allusion of violence, hot on many well-cultured heels. Your subject(s) often feels...

This is so apt and carefully arranged. That flower, that single human, how easily crushed but how esily helped, too. Worked with unaccompanied asylum seeking children from the point of dispersal - straight from lorry to hostel. All those one acts...

Posted on Wed, 09 Sep 2015
This is really good. Shifting perceptions for your reader, mix of ghostly and surreal, the level of fine detail I tend to expect of your work.
Have deliberated if it should open: 'It was starting to rain when I arrived home that...

Hi Jesse, it's an interesting read. Some lovely metaphors and descriptions.
