Synopsis
First stage winner in The Poetry Business Book & Pamphlet Competition. ‘an original talent with an unusually good ear for verse both formal and free’ – Sean O’Brien Findings 1 He settles in the burn till snow-melt smooths his young face younger still. I would recall all the lost places of his life & find them new again, the images to which he will return: a fossil of two fern leaves, which he found & gave to me; a nest of baby weasels, bald & reptilian. He says We’d best work fast, & drops his handkerchief into the nest: the cauldron seethes: claws & teeth needle the handkerchief. When they’re attached, he lifts a clutch of weasels up for me to see.
