Read this poem by Julie Boden!

The other day I heard this poem read aloud on BBC Radio 4 by the poet herself. I sat amazed, cried, and then applauded!

It describes a life of disillusionment so poignantly, and yet so directly. The fact that it uses, verse by verse, the same rhyming words, dictates that it is also a piece of great economy.

It is when I listen to or read works of such brilliance that I realise why I remain unpublished. I don't measure up.

Read " Memories in a City Cafe " by Julie Boden here: http://www.julieboden.co.uk/poetry/MemoriesinaCityCafe.html

...and enjoy.

Hmm must've been since the Scots invasion...but for me the habit was picked up in Melbourne Australia from a disolute colleague in our mutually disolute youth Laughing I can swear in Italian as well, but that's my father's fault .

"Nowt" is pure Lancashire or Yorkshire.
