poetry wales is running a handful of my march earthquake poems in its summer'11 issue.
the poems are 2:46, riverside golfers, white day, at the airport and home.
plus editor zoe skolding gave them a nice write-up:
Poetry is usually a much longer, slower conversation than the momentary urgency of graffiti or journalism, though there are exceptions – Jon Mitchell, a Welsh poet living in Japan, responds here to the recent earthquake, blurring the lines between poetry, the diary and reportage.
i'm still in the midst of putting 24 more poems together into a pamphlet - so stay tuned here for news of when it's out...
