Hello Clare

I would like to include your poem in my presentation for a TedX and wanted to get written confirmation that I could use your poem Weapons (and credit you of course) during my talk.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes

Thanks for the thoughtful comments. Not sure if I'm supposed to respond here or on your own pages, but much appreciated!

Brilliant stuff. 'My grandmother knitted her own eyebrows' blends surrealism and mundanity together brilliantly and manages to seamlessly take an initially silly premise somewhere quite deep without losing the humour. I loved 'If I was', as well, it must go down brilliantly at performances. I love the way the rhyme turns in each verse, it's very artfully constructed.

Good afternoon Clare

"If I was" is a really clever poem and clever for its funny & sad. Loved the Grandmother knitted eyebrows story/poem. I thought of Alan Bennett with all that analytical detail of the woman. I can't get gravy-on-the-legs-to-give-the- impression-of-tights out of my mindl

I wake with perfect hair too... when its cropped close. I loved the Beatles poem, how motherhood had made her grow too old too soon, and yet maybe not a bit of it...

Hi there,
I always hated the Beatles as a youngster. Got really pissed off when they were always number 1 in the charts.

" If i was," is brilliant. Love it.
