The Sea Walks Into A Wall
Paperback Edition: 1
A biting new collection by award-winning poet Anne Kennedy.
In The Sea Walks into a Wall, the natural world around us hits back.
- The sea crashes its glass onto the bar.
You watch from afar.
- You'd take it all back if you could. Everything.
You'd go down there and you'd.
And talks back too.
- If I'm fucked,
you're coming with me.
- Sincerely,
the stream.
From rainy Ihumatao to London's Kew Gardens, in the face of seas and streams, ducks and dogs, black drops and bureaucracies, humans bumble through.
- Without distractions you'd rush through your life like chi through an empty room.
You bump into a baby and that takes up eighteen years.
Love fills the room like a maze.
Intelligent, playful, witty and innovative, these poems bite where it hurts.
