Poetry by steve parker. Saturday, March 21, 2015. All the men and women I have faced in that final moment . I have not prevented a single murder. We were very much in love . I wish I could have found it. In my heart to forgive him while he was alive. A country road. A tree. Evening. Two hours from three am. I makes a picture of a fucked-up fairy. That no one will ever see. Plays quiet sounds over. To settle its stages add sage. A smoke to quiet it. The silence in the stoppage. Banged it all into place.

“Terrible World” by Benjamin Zephaniah – My soul – The country of the rising words
https://workofday.wordpress.com/2013/06/17/terrible-world-by-benjamin-zephaniah
My soul – The country of the rising words. The old streets of our life or the new streets of our life? June 17, 2013. 8220;Terrible World” by Benjamin Zephaniah. I wrote about this poet on my Romanian blog – plutacupaparude. 8211; where I “post” my own poems. His poems are disturbing, I already read two books –. Too Black, Too Strong. 8211; and almost everything I found about him on the Internet. For me, Benjamin Zephaniah. Is a modern-day François Villon. I’ve seen streets of blood. There waz no luv.

On Thursday – My soul – The country of the rising words
https://workofday.wordpress.com/2012/11/30/on-thursday
My soul – The country of the rising words. The old streets of our life or the new streets of our life? November 30, 2012. There are the paper clouds. Where I write words with the black wine. The angels will read the angels will recite. The angels will get drunk. It’s Thursday in the city of dark glass. And it is snowing now in the city of rains. In my veins other worlds grow up. The grey city will be covered by paper –. The signs of writing. Read in Romanian here. This entry was posted in Literature.

On Friday – My soul – The country of the rising words
https://workofday.wordpress.com/2012/11/30/on-friday
My soul – The country of the rising words. The old streets of our life or the new streets of our life? November 30, 2012. My body is a place of constant protest. All last night I wove the frost in your hair. And it was well. and it was one night. A night which feed us with white plants of frost. We saw a lot of people like us – freezing. On the big playing field of the illusions. We could see the universes in motion. The places of constant protests. We are standing in our frost nest. And tagged ela roseni.

Carrie Etter: The Ted Hughes Award Citation for Imagined Sons
http://carrieetter.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-ted-hughes-award-citation-for.html
Poet, teacher and critic. Friday, 8 May 2015. The Ted Hughes Award Citation for Imagined Sons. The poems in Carrie Etter’s poignant collection, Imagined Sons. Coalesce around a haunting:. Though the poems are spoken by the birth-mother, it is the son who takes centre stage, his absence experienced as a real and pervasive presence throughout. The sequence is a montage of fictional fragments, each fragment representing one of an infinite number of possible versions of the mother/son relationship. Katy Evan...

Poet, teacher and critic. Tuesday, 20 January 2015. Meeting Dave Etter, August 2014. Sorry for the radio silence- did anyone notice? Since the start of the new year I've been drowning in marking. There used to be an event called Wordfair at the wonderful little Franklin Park (the scene of a poem from Imagined Sons,. Over the decades, when I meet another poet for the first time and say my name, I've heard Dave Etter's name brought up again and again: "Do you know him? Are you related to him? Divining for ...

Carrie Etter: Kim Moore's The Art of Falling (Seren, 2015)
http://carrieetter.blogspot.com/2015/05/kim-moores-art-of-falling-seren-2015.html
Poet, teacher and critic. Monday, 11 May 2015. Kim Moore's The Art of Falling (Seren, 2015). And the soul, if she is to know herself. Must look into the soul and find. What kind of beast is hiding. The opening stanza of "And the Soul". I come from people who swear without realising they're swearing. The opening line of "My People". And the lawn sits. In its shadows and dark and its falsehoods. And the ending begins with its terrible face,. Its strange way of being, its short way of living. I knew it then.
