POETRY

Inventory for a Kitchen Drawer

Mira Halloran

String used from both ends, two birthday candles and a key to a door we no longer have. A list poem for the drawer every kitchen has.

Woodcut of tall reeds leaning over slow water, printed in dark brown on a sand-coloured ground

POETRY

What the River Keeps

Dalia Serrat

A shoe, a shopping trolley, the sound of a lorry crossing the bridge. A poem about what a river takes all year and what it shows us in August.

Linocut of a tall window with a thin curtain lifted by a draught, printed in ochre and dark brown

POETRY

Sublet

Mira Halloran

A short poem about living among someone else's cups, radiators and floorboards, and about how to give a key back.
