POEM-ING

I’ve spent many, many hours walking through Fairview Park, especially while on maternity leave in 2019/20 and 2023/24. Last November, 8th, I took a few notes on my mobile phone, to register what was around me, to register what was beyond me. I’m beginning to edit these mobile notes together into a collection, hopefully — that’s the goal. I don’t know what to say about world politics – I have only been on marches in my mind, typically attending to the cares of little ones closer to hand. But I want to express solidarity in a more public way… then, recently, the park did it for me.
