List of Poetry

The Times published an article/interview on Carol Ann Duffy today in which she said that all poetry is love poetry and she is infinitely interested in love because desire and possibility are everywhere. Part of my being was called forth as my breath caught: 'Why am I not writing more poetry?'

I entered a poetry contest last month with about my love and the Natural History Museum. I didn't win, and I didn't expect I would. It was a Queer London contest, and the title of my piece was 'Whale Poems.' Still, how do I begin to write again, to write again like I know what I am doing across the page. Because I do.
