These poems, originally pulled together in a small, laser-printed collection back in 1998, were for me a way of trying to make sense of things – an intense period including psychological breakdown, and the slow work of recovery. You’ll find early sketches of ideas that still preoccupy me: the ‘meticulous blur’ of trying to capture something true, the difficulty and necessity of connection, and grappling with what felt like a very dark ‘night.’ Figuring things out, often through these ‘sore words,’ and these pieces are mementoes that remain.
