Nice to have a poem in this beautifully produced debut publication from a new zine https://anthrazine.bigcartel.com/product/anthra
The poem was in my 2020 book ‘I will show you the life of the mind (on prescription drugs)’ and was written reading gerald manley hopkins after seeing a poem of his used as a cinematic epigraph for the film hold the dark. i then went and found the novel of this film and read it, and while i was writing poems for diamanda dramm to sing. they became a sequence. and this poem OLD THE DARK was what myself and the editor Molly Hills though most fitting to the theme of the zine, which is “exploring the relationship between humans and plants in an urban environment. It brings art, poetry and science together into a human space, to reflect on the ties between the wild and the domesticated.
