Certainty
This is a ten-minute recording of ‘Certainty’, a poem I struggled to write through 2001, exactly 20 years ago, originally published in 'An Elusive State: Entering al-Chwm' This penultimate poem describes the collapse of a society, and a country, that worked - at times, almost a Utopia. Hence, 'an elusive state'. Written over months that spanned 9/11 (2001). Available in 'Weathereye: Selected Poems'.
What you took home with you from the night shift
This is a poem about a cleaner. It is at least partly about not being fully seen.
