WATERLINES TO A KINGFISHER

This lyric poem begins grounded by metaphor, ‘the morning river after rain is a mud river’. It then takes flight like the kingfisher itself, its long lines sweeping across the page, dipping in and out of metaphor and stunning image. It is an expansive poem with many striking lines and an epic tone.
