Notes

  • This poem is in two numbered parts.
  • Blake Prize 2013 Judges’ Comments

    This is a skilful, fragmented prose poem; a stream-of-consciousness monologue which blends imperative, descriptive and interrogative tropes. The language is elusive of a single or unified meaning, opening it to multiple readings. It contains wit, is accurate and original in imagery, which derives from the erotic, from urban as well as from pastoral themes that the poem successfully demythologises. A dense, fast-paced poem layered with images that, when read as a whole, address the restlessness of the search for spirituality in everyday life.
