Why I write | Roy Marshall
https://roymarshall.wordpress.com/2015/06/25/why-i-write
Favourite poem of the week. Links to my poems online. Reviews of The Sun Bathers. June 25, 2015. Why I write, part one. My exercise book comes back with ‘see me’ written in it. But it’s ok. This time there are lots of ticks in red pen and an ‘excellent’ at the end. Why I write, part two. But my point is this. Despite each key-strike causing pain, despite the fact I will receive no financial gain from this piece, I’m still writing it and what I want to know is, why? Why I write, part three. You are commen...

Tiffany Anne Tondut, featured poet, | Roy Marshall
https://roymarshall.wordpress.com/2015/06/17/tiffany-anne-tondut-featured-poet
Favourite poem of the week. Links to my poems online. Reviews of The Sun Bathers. Tiffany Anne Tondut, featured poet,. June 17, 2015. I met Tiffany at the launch of Magma magazine, issue 61, and was struck by her poems (she read two) which seemed to have an authority and memorable originality. I felt there was an unusual vibrancy and freedom to her work ( ee cummings sprang to mind), which can only be a good thing. After publication in Poetry News, Tiffany’s poems have appeared in Rising,. You’re not jea...

Poetry Reviews | Roy Marshall

Favourite poem of the week. Links to my poems online. Reviews of The Sun Bathers. Loop of Jade by Sarah Howe. This book is rich in ideas and emotional depth, a book by a poet adept at interlacing disparate references in order to explore the nature of cultural and gender identity. Something sets us looking for a place. For many minutes every day we lose. Ourselves to somewhere else. 8216;Embalmed’ is a simultaneously fantastical and horrifying examination of the excesses of absolute power which reve...

Favourite poem of the week. Links to my poems online. Reviews of The Sun Bathers. More thoughts on drafting poems. August 31, 2016. Most of what you write can be rewritten and made better, or at least returned to. Any idea, half idea, image or emotion, can be the start of a poem. W.B Yeats often distilled his poems from prose descriptions. According to John Whitworth, Yeats genius lay in his infinite capacity for ‘taking pains’. Yeats by Sean Cronln. 4 A poem may take off well only to stall. It may b...

Why I write, continued. | Roy Marshall
https://roymarshall.wordpress.com/2015/06/25/why-i-write-continued
Favourite poem of the week. Links to my poems online. Reviews of The Sun Bathers. Why I write, continued. June 25, 2015. Why I write, part five. Some reasons to write. Vanity. Maybe, a bit. Politics. They’re in there. Preservation of histories, mine, ours. Anger; unresolved, redirected, worked out. For the love of language, the malleability of it, the carpentry of poems. And love, sometimes, maybe, if I am brave enough. Why I write, part six. How about a hydro-electric metaphor? Where is it now? I think ...

Time passes… | Roy Marshall
https://roymarshall.wordpress.com/2015/07/27/time-passes
Favourite poem of the week. Links to my poems online. Reviews of The Sun Bathers. July 27, 2015. Back from a trip to Picardy,. Seated in my box-room office. And looking for a change. In more than weather,. I take down the linocut. Of a hare among poppies,. A skull from Da Vinci’s notebook,. Clausen’s head of a fair. And serious girl, the abstract in oils. By someone I knew in another life,. A Van Gough postcard and a portrait. By Modigliani, but leave. Of red and yellow hands. Framed ten years back,.

Favourite poem of the week. Links to my poems online. Reviews of The Sun Bathers. Reviews of The Sun Bathers. From Under The Radar, July 2014. Roy Marshall (Shoestring Press, 2013, 9.00, ISBN:978-1-007356-85-8). Roy Marshall’s new collection is ambitious in scope, scrupulous and well-wrought in design; his ‘plain style’ that invariably rewards re-reading, does not patronise his readers, rather challenges them to inhabit and re-imagine zones of experience and memory. Something frisks, drops. You are comme...
