Thank you for listening in 2023!A Shropshire Lad, XLA. E. HousmanInto my heart an air that kills    From yon far country blows:  What are those blue remembered hills,    What spires, what farms are those?    That is the land of lost content,  I see it shining plain,  The happy highways where I went    And cannot come again.Walkabout OST

THE SEA EATS OUR LANDS Kwesi BrewHere stood our ancestral home:The crumbling wall marks the spot.Here a sheep was led to slaughterTo appease the gods and atoneFor faults which our destinyHas blossomed into crimes.There my cursed father once stoodAnd shouted at us, his children.To come back from our playTo our evening meal and sleep.The clouds are thickening in the red skyAnd night had charmedA black power into the pounding waves.Here once lay Keta.Now her golden girlsErode into the armsOf strange towns.

Hello lovely Listener, my name is Lindsay and you’re listening to 2cents podcast Your Audible Anthology. All the poetry books I’ve reviewed so far were by authors in the mainstream. My commentary was merely a drop in an ocean of reviews and I’d echo similar sentiments found in comments typed off the cuff on Amazon or GoodReads. This episode I am delighted to delve into a collection of poetry by Damian White titled: I Made A Place For You. We will explore how he unpacks his story featuring some recitals from him as well as an appreciation of the collections art and how the written and illustrated elements harmonise to give us an immersive experience of Damian’s narrative.Damian's social mediaRead I Made A Place For You
