The last poem in ‘Miracle Fruit’

Reading here with Martin Mooney

http://www.sheffieldpoetryfestival.org.uk/

This Friday at 1.00 pm in the Heaney Centre. If you are free come along and hear me read some of the poems from my new book, Miracle Fruit, alongside Sonia Abercrombie who will be performing some of the character poems from that book. It’s a bit different.
Bernie McGill will also be reading from her wonderful novel, The Butterfly Cabinet.

I went to Dublin to see a Lucien Freud exhibition and there happened to be a Hogarth exibition at the same time. This poem came about as a result.

This is a little poem that sprang from a childhood memory of many hours spent in the school playground, break and lunchtimes, playing this game.
