hi Trevor The more I read your poems, the more I've gotten to like them: the domestic/parental context and theme threads on language/identity/legacy.

Re: A poem that I read today by Mac
Metaphors are often challenging, but understood ones, are like waking up in a morning shower (to use a simile
they clear the cobwebs - when not a cliche
)

Re: A poem that I read today by Mac
A feature of watercolour painting is the 'happy accident'. It's the use of water. This poem by Sarah Cave called out on the water reminded me of that: http://stridemagazine.blogspot.com/2020/11/out-on-water.html?view=timeslide On another issue: There is some sort of correlation, it seems to me, betw...

Re: A poem that I read today by Mac
This is wrong, this is right. Assertion is endemic to a style of critique, often reflecting a mind blinkered and locked in a personal aesthetic or worse, an 'educated' one. Does this limit an understanding of a poem...I feel it does :) This poem is a reminder of what is lost... https://www.theguardi...

Re: Who's reading what?
Enjoyed Joyce's The Dubliners , a bit chilly and distant, can't say I connected emotionally with the characters, but the narratives engaged. Started reading his novel Ulysses , love the diction surprises, may finish the read this time! Tolkien's Lord of the Rings felt unchallenging in comparison, pr...
