Falconer's Joy
The five poems in this pocket-sized chapbook share themes of mythic slippages, of time unanchoring and of the dead speaking to the living, sometimes the other way round.
The oldest piece, Merrivale, was first begun in 2012 and has seen a number of versions down the years; the most recent, The Dead Fathers, was written in September 2018. In between those bookends of time, The Lapwing Stars appeared in 2017 in Fiddler's Green Peculiar Parish Magazine #4; The Worship of Place was recorded whilst out on the moor, beside the East Dart, in the fabulous early Summer of this 2018; and Falconer's Joy was written in the summer of 2018.

Hail, Merrivale, where I fought and/Fell that day and lived again./Time, tide nor all the flooding sea/Will keep me from you now.
