i’m sorry
but i don’t
understand
the need
for
cynical
nihilistic
decadent
characters
who don’t
care
about anybody
but
themselves
smoking cigarettes
and waiting to die
the bitter taste
of witty ripostes
burning through
their tongues –
give me
their hearts
tender and soft
give me
their dreams
and oh –
give me hope
god,
give me hope
Month: July 2017
(how i wanted)
the opposite of love
isn’t hate, but indifference
and as i ended the call
your voice ringing in my ears
i couldn’t understand why
i didn’t feel anything at all
i thought this was what
i want
(oh, how i wanted)
but now
the idea of you touching me
makes me shiver
for all the wrong reasons
Turn Soft And Lovely: A Poetry Collection – Out Now!
My previous post discussed the eBook and Amazon print editions, but here is the official hand signed and numbered edition!
Turn Soft And Lovely: A Poetry Collection zine
https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/541925059/turn-soft-and-lovely-a-poetry-collection
48 pages, professionally printed, really lovely thick pages, very tactile and just so nice to hold. Limited first run of eleven copies, which will be numbered. Can be signed on request. More than willing to trade for art/zines/shiny shiny trinkets. I am so, so proud of this, it’s been a year in the making but I think it’s finally paid off.
Turn Soft And Lovely: A Poetry Collection
Very pleased and proud to announce that my collection of poetry is now available on Amazon through Kindle and also, thanks to their new publishing scheme, as a real, physical book! I’ve kept costs as low as I can make them, this isn’t a for-profit enterprise. I will also be making a few copies privately through lulu.com with a different back cover design which can be signed and will be available on my etsy if you are interested in that.
I’m very proud of the poetry in this book, and though it’s only a small volume I think it’s very… lovely. I hope you do too.
