Polcevera
<p>I found Polcevera by Julian Bishop in the inaugural issue of The Alchemy Spoon, which is available in print and online. It may have been the alliteration in the first line that caught my attention: 'Your silent storm'. I love the subtly repeated sounds - "taking it's toll"; "beating against bared ribs". In two places the poem drops briefly into Italian as if to conceal where the blame lies?</p> <p>Or perhaps because the full horror of those 43 lives lost by negligence leaves us searching for the right words and unable to find them in the usual, familiar places?</p> <p>I'm thrilled and grateful to have Julian's permission to record and share his poem. Please do check his other work if you like it. Also please do have a look at The Alchemy Spoon - https://www.alchemyspoon.org/</p> <p>Find the text of the poem here: https://en.calameo.com/read/0062403289f3fbdc57bbe?authid=BT5fITEXG0bZ&page=37</p>

Broken Villanelle with Bees
<p>I found this poem by Sarah Alcaide-Escue in the second issue of Channel Magazine. I've been studying villanelle form - I enjoy the rhyme scheme.</p> <p>This poem forces me to stop and slow down. In the second line I wrangle with the repeated 'r' sounds - growth, ringed, wrists - almost as if the w of with threatens to trip me up. I have to proceed carefully. There's a lot in each line in terms of sound and in meaning, it's definitely a poem to linger over. </p> <p>There's some lovely not quite rhymes in here too: wrists / resist; antilogy / apologies. You can find the text of the poem by buying a copy of Channel, issue 2 https://channelmag.org/</p>

Pterodactyl
Pterodactyl is from John McCullough's latest collection, Reckless Paper Birds. I like the way the lines run on - I sometimes found it hard to pace myself so I had enough breath to finish the sentences, which forced me to think about the flow of the poem and how I wanted to honour it. In stanza 4 I love the feeling of the different sounds in my mouth. I go from curiosity and absorption in the previous imagery to grounded by feeling the shapes of individual words ... panic at the prospect ... expeditions ... sizzling ... irretrievably ... crater ... trip. At the end of the poem I am lost in the colours, vivid hues, vividly described and I tumble through the last line.
