How Poetry Comes to Me
It comes blundering over the
Boulders at night, it stays
Frightened outside the
Range of my campfire
I go to meet it at the
Edge of the light
Gary Snyder

This week's editor is Helen Rickerby with a compelling sequence of poems by fellow Tuesday Poet, Helen Heath. Helen H's debut collection Graft was recently published by Victoria University Press. and with its exploration of scientific concepts is one I particularly look forward to laying my hands on.
And, to follow on from last week's post - Ruben Mowszowski's Karoo Moon - you might enjoy an article he wrote on the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), published in the Cape Times this past weekend.
And sometimes it comes leaping over the boulders, uninvited.

ReplyDeleteI meet this there sometimes too, but other times it yanks my arm.
