Note to Self

Across poetry sequences, pieces of fiction and other creative processes, there are a number of key characters and images that repeat. These are:

– Blue

– Alice

– Aslan

– Kingfisher

– Water

These have a deeper range of meanings, and are ‘characters’ that I can work with through diverse contexts. Bringing them back again and again lends strength to the creative process.

Last week Blue re-emerged in a poem called ’21st Century Blue’ which I am now working on.

Two preoccupations for my poetry – process and content.
