"Tails" by Kona MacPhee (Bloodaxe, 2004)

Poems from Acumen, Poetry Wales, The Wolf, etc

I rather liked "Perfect Blue" (plus the notes that accompanied it) and "What long miles". I'm having trouble with this book though.

"The ghost toe" is a fun compendium of ideas, but why call it poetry? Why put it into triplets of lines?

I wonder if "Hugh's boomerang" has anything to do with Cambridge's Hugh Hunt?

"IVF" is a sestina.

p.36 ("Ice II") puzzles me.
