A beautiful poem and indeed a beautiful reading!
Thanks, Helen!
i was curious how you would read it. i wondered how you would pronounce that lonely ‘r’ against the margin. “my new [ness] evades me” wins the day
This really should have been a ‘group read’ poem, now I think about it. To me the last half was the more difficult and fraught with possibility – it would have been interesting to see how others approached it.
Excellent, as always, Nic! I particularly loved the drawn “r” in “running” and the absloutely perfect “y’know.” Once again, I thank you for allowing me to be a part of Whale Sound.
Thanks, David!
