Brill. (I fell over a chair in a pile of chairs at a gallery once and was rebuked for it. Difficult to know where it should go back I said). One persons luggage is another persons trash!

Hi Jane, thanks for your comment on Earth and Sky...It's been a while since you commented on it so it has taken me a while to get here. I am really enthralled by your samples....Apple power!
I will be looking into your archived work and hope to see your future pieces as well.

Thanks for your note on Leaving Home, Jane. Yes, I'm quite obsessed with the differences between physical and experiential time :)

Hello Jane,
Thanks for your thoughts on "Hugging Candles".
Yes, I too feel an enormous weight of history (as well as an enormous weight of timber!) when I open and close up each day. The West door of the Abbey doesn't have a lock; it's secured by an enormous wooden beam I have to lift in pace each night. Very medieval!
"Hugging" = trimming them with a knife so they fit the holders.

Hello Jane , Hope you are well.
Thanks for your comment

i always have trouble with swearing in poems in this case i swear out of desperation i think
Thanks for your message and i take your thoughts on board ! thanks

Thank you Jane- (re On stolen sheets)I often write in an almost flippant way only to find the 'feeling' emerge at a later reading. 'dark'- as you comment upon- has opened up another facet of the piece. Tommy

Thanks for your comment on The Show, Jane, which buoyed me up no end, since I'm not actually an amateur thespian. On the other hand, I'm very close to someone who is!

Thanks Jane for your read and comment. The curious thing about "joy" in this poem stems from two things, the first - it is an inversion that allows stark contrast to the tone and feel of the poem, and second - there is a maudlin tragic joy, a sort of fool's consolation vaguely alluded to but not emphatically espoused by the poem. I am quite pleased that you picked up on that seeming contradiction. Whether intended or not, it allows for the reader to make their own conclusion.

Hey Jane,

Been to Bolton the last couple of months...the first wol at Butterflies and Guitar and Verse.

Anyway it made me think that your poetry was missed.

Hope all is good in the world- kids and all that too.

I hope to get to the next Bolton wol happy with my new gf Haha...Be good to hear your poetry there.

Loved the weird Lewis Carrol brilig-esque poem you wrote for your daughter and even more so the poem about about cars/environment and gambol...ala sheep.

My Best

Chris

I also meant to say I love the descriptions of Nature in your work, too. You can summon a whole season and terrain in a few words. Extraordinary!

Hello Jane! Big thanks for reading Cross Species -- you're quite right, the insurance costs of hurling/retrieving footballers by playful scientists would be extortionate, but I bet it'd be fun to watch! Love your Duck Parliament poem especially -- your work is so wonderfully vivid and full of gloriously unexpected twists and turns. Moxy x

Wow - the Edinburgh thing sounds great. You should write about it and send it to features - they've run a few things about it. I'll be mortified if you tell me you already have - I forget to look there - but always make the effort to read the work of people I feel I know.

Jane, what an excellent comment on 'Old Woman Waiting ...' I see exactly what you mean about really personal intrusion. I also will consider the idea of 'diffidence' although I don't see how the word works in 'Denying symbols diffidence.' Thanks for your contribution.

Hi Jane, glad you enjoyed my Kingfisher poem. I've been looking at your work and was struck by the abundance of rich language in Apple Power, and by the quiet but outraged patriotism of The Duck House Parliament. Cromwell always gets a bad press in many quarters, on the left as well as the right, but I do see him as a great figure, and you gave him an almost mythical power in your poem. A collection of poems about the civil war ... now that would be something, wouldn't it? Greg

Thanks for your comment on my sonnet Jane. I see it as classical but not romantic. I guess we all bring our life experiences to the interpretation of poetry. I did read it too fast at the Howcroft - I was a bit on edge for some reason.

I very much enjoyed seeing you and your daughter perform together - I wonder if I'll ever get one of mine to do that - it must be so lovely. You should try making it over to the Tudor one day - I'm sure you'd enjoy it.
Hope to see you soon.Isobel x

Thanks for the comment on the Clifford's Tower villanelle. I heard many years ago that there remains to this day an edict by the Jewish faith that any Jew passing York should avert their gaze - that's where I got the "turn their faces" idea from. I can't now verify it anywhere so it might be an urban myth - I rather hope not.

Forgot to say when commenting on the lovely drawing that I like the poem too (the one with the camel). The well is at Madron in Cornwall, though the poem was inspired by Alsia Well, my fave well, but didn't have a picture. But I love all wells.

Hi, Jane,
The 'swan path' is the path of light thrown by the full moon on a body of water, possibly Greek in origin, I don't remember.
