Postcard Poems

Entry for Postcard Poems at Bank Street Arts, Sheffield, in conjunction with The Poetry Business and South Yorkshire Poety Festival.

Exhibition at Bank Street Arts from 20-30th May 2015.

Simply a poem on a postcard from where I live. I think there is more than a hint of the ongoing love/hate relationship that I have with Plymouth!

There are quite a few artists who work with postcards, by manipulating them and using them for mail art. I have previously created this kind of work and I often use the A6 format in book works.




Passively I stay here
Loving the sea, but hating
Your mediocrity in equal
Measure and
Often
Underestimating
The restraining 
Hold you have on me
