An ode from David Pollard's most recent Waterloo collection, 'Broken Voices'. Although that Keatsian poetic thought runs bold and grandiose throughout this book, there are some passages, like this, where I am struck by the moment of texture and particulars.
Returning to this again today...a must have for anyone searching for some lucidity on that hazy period we call the British Poetry Revival... acclaimed Waterloo poet Andrew Duncan's voice is radiantly authoritative.
Welcoming in the New Year ahead and the exploration it has promised, here is an extract from T. S. Eliot's magnificent 'Little Gidding'...

"No Sun this morning, but the promise of a tilt"
- Holding onto the promise of a tilt in this dark "unspiralling" poem from Jessica Traynor's Pit Lullabies. #midwinter #poetry
“If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.” - Emily Dickinson
Loss, reconciliation and a small gasp of hope trapped under Christmas wrap or sighed into a line of poetry. The beauty of crippling potential in a Christmas love lyric from Philip Ruthen's 'Jetty View Holding'. Link to purchase below!
