  Clarity   So still It had to Come to the fore I could feel The tears drop And drip down On to my leg Fully-formed droplets I could count rain In the still Stilled mind forge chatter The sadness had nowhere to go But out.   Canal Walk Home What is it About the power […]

• ‘I wanted to tell you, but there was no time’ and other poems by Csilla Toldy

  Kitchen   With hot chilli in my eyes I read between the lines, a coded message of noises: A child’s scream sheathed in wind blasts,   gashes through the cracks.

• “Satellite” and other poems by Roisin Kelly

  To a Writer   You write of raspberries and snow of the mimosa flower’s scent of how it makes you feel to put on lipstick and heels. Of how it feels to wander home   below the stars, drunk but not too drunk how you always like to show a little cleavage though you never […]

• ‘Moving Like Anemones’ and other poems by Lorna Shaugnessy

  Crystal   The blower adds breath to heat, turns and blows within the mould until he finds precise form. Molten glass vibrates. It takes ten years to learn how deep you can cut before the glass shatters, how deep you have to go to catch the light. Mistakes pile up waiting for the furnace, a […]
