Kim Moore's Sunday Poem is something of an institution on the U.K. poetry blogging scene. Every Sunday, she reports back on her week, ruminates on poetic issues of the day and then posts a piece by an invited poet alongside her comments on the poem in question. Via this feature, I've discovered a number of exciting new poets and/or been alerted to the publication of new publications that I just had to purchase. In other words, Kim's posts are great but can be dangerous for your wallet.
In the light of the above, I'm especially pleased to report that I'm this week's guest for Kim Moore's Sunday Poem with "Twenty Years Apart" from The Knives of Villalejo. You can read the poem, together with Kim's remarks on it, by following this link.

Thank you, Matthew, for pointing us in the direction of Kim Moore's Sunday Poem. I was fascinated by the 'somewhere/elsewhere here/there somebody/nobody' theme, and the comments about mirrors and form. Congratulations on your publication.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your congratulations and kind remarks, Caroline!

ReplyDeleteNice poem. According to BBC World, after calling an illegal referendum and declaring independence, the quondam Catalan leader, Carles Puigdemont, is now hiding somewhere in Belgium. Never trust a man with a pudding-bowl haircut!
