When you require renewal, is there a particular poem or book that you return to? A particular author?
Judy Jordan’s Carolina Ghost Woods.
It was the first book of poetry I read that made me stop and go ‘Poetry can do that?’
When I’m having a bad writing week, when I find myself questioning the importance, the prevalence of poetry—I return here to be gutted.
I suppose it is a older book now— being that it was published in 1999— so people are always surprised or don’t know what I’m talking about but every time, without fail, it devastates me.
