  6. Oh I loved this, it is really interesting how the form plays with the voice in your mind as you are reading it. I will be reading it many times.

  7. Thanks Sarah for spending time with it. I really appreciate it - the poem puts lots of slowdown speed humps in the way and many would give up before the end. There's a sound poem embedded in the poem (in red) which gives access to, or comments on, the full poem. I'm going to record some quads for my site today - though it will take a while to get the new site up, I might try to record one for here too.

    365+1 is a great space isn't it!

  8. I can't wait to hear it - it's a great work of 'othering'; stops any easy identification of self with the other in poetry, well, in writing generally.

  9. Thank you Efi. I've done a couple of shonky recordings so far but better to come. I don't think it's possible to upload recordings here (??) but I'll put up a link.
