along these corridors
listen
shouldn’t be
incoming behind the dark
listen
how in the heart
into which a slower
enters
the inward garden collects into an elegant pamphlet a series of subtle yet challenging poems written during the poet's
long-term residency at the renowned St Edmund’s College in rural Hertfordshire. These poems capture the diverse and profoundly
thoughtful quality of the author's engagement with the pupils there.

FURTHER INFORMATION
for St. Edmund’s College
behind the tongue
through the lesson –
not only to
what is said or
said – but in the way
the eye can sense that glow
or the body to blood
beneath its action
to noiselessness never
broken despite the show –
of agitation
there is silence
silence
with you in tow
