Poems from Poetry London, Poetry Wales, Finished Creatures, etc.
In "Light Year" I have trouble with -
- "Even if a star dies, its light echoes around the cosmos." - in what way "echoes"? What does the light bounce off? Or alternatively, what does "star" mean other than "star"?
- "As the supernova shuttles through space\ at the speed of light, its echo expands" - in what way "shuttles" (i.e. goes back and forth)? In what way does it have an echo? What do all the spaces mean?
and I have problems with the poems in section IV. "Diary" is my favourite piece, followed by "when you stopped speaking to me for a whole year".
