When you require renewal, is there a particular poem or book that you return to? A particular author?
I always return to Bronwen Wallace’s collected works. Reading her poems is like coming home, but to my childhood home, where everything is brighter, clearer, more beautiful, and also more devastating — as childhood often is. Wallace's poems lift the veil and bring me closer to that unfettered, raw self I knew when I was younger. I feel like I spend most of my adult life trying to talk to that little kid.
