The most recent post in my blog
(lines of communication at the top of ‘Other places we like’) refers to a poetry
anthology, and specifically to Vicki Feaver. This past week I have been working
my way through her ‘The Taste of Blood‘, and time and time again I find myself
compelled to read and re-read just for the sparsity of her word use and the
visceral kick so many of them give.

untitled piece, I declare him this
