Fassaden flucht

the story of us

My poem 'The Story of Us' was commended in the 2014 Mother's Milk Books Writing Prize.  The judge, Cathy Bryant, wrote: ‘The Story of Us’ has a terrific opening: ‘The path between your wrinkles was never too narrow/for fairy tales’. The fairy tale motif is used throughout the poem in which a ‘princess’ loves, and then loses, her grandfather. This works very well when contrasted with prosaic details: the castle is ‘destroyed by the dragon’ when the old man dies, and the bereaved granddaughter ‘…cried openly into your freshly-ironed shirt’. The poem was included in an anthology of the winning and commended pieces published by Mother's Milk Books, available from here.
