It's worth is immeasurable.

Posted on Fri, 07 Aug 2015

It's worth is immeasurable. Both the poem and the release. This is exceptionally gutting - hope you dont mind me saying that - there is a privacy between mother and child that the reader is infringing on and it gives the poem more than its beauty...

Posted on Sun, 02 Aug 2015

I love the concept of this - very emotive and sensory detail is sharp. It could be cut and condensed perhaps without diluting the content. It feels surreal in places with a nostalgia of the fair that most children share.

Posted on Sun, 26 Jul 2015

Adore your poetry. The eclectic images strung together - an albino rabbit, packet of Benson's, Becky's skinny thighs, that jukebox makes it so transporting. There's something phenomenally cool about your dirty love songs.

Posted on Mon, 20 Jul 2015

They're not just things, though. Can't think that! Unscientifically speaking, surely physical things hold on to aspects of personality, keep memory traces inside their physical structure, echoes of times past, a resonance of something you can't...

Posted on Wed, 15 Jul 2015

An interesting and specialised topic makes for a good read. This sentence: ' On taking on this role' might sound better starting with 'In' to reduce the ons! A strong narrative voice that could be even more powerful if you tightened your gargoyle...

Modern, colloquial, has a tang of people's moral advice in it and most of all, nails council estate life and is refreshingly upfront.

Posted on Wed, 08 Jul 2015

I used to love Little Ted. It's really powerful, this, a real spare and poignant pinning down of neglect. Your windows - well, their windows - offer a place of hope, a sense of child normality and it taunts the child with what he has to face.

Posted on Wed, 08 Jul 2015

Such unusual touches to describing the scenes - cabbage leaf crinkles and cawing Lords. It's visually rewarding but full of sound, too. A charming piece.

Posted on Sun, 05 Jul 2015

Love's rarely permanent and it shape shifts - this poem nails that through memory and the structures of the house - fragility, repair, age, youth. It's such a beautiful piece.
