These are incredible. Your use of white space makes the poems so visceral, so tangible--you just did it so beautifully paired with your words, I love these.

Thank yooooooooohooooooo. I had to embrace that crease, printer is upstairs and I was down, I’d already printed it out 4 times and just could not stand another trek up our stairs.

Oh they so very much fit the brief. Another to show my kids later in a bid to demonstrate how fun and interesting poetry can be when you play with the page. Thank you. (I def didn’t do a small lol at the curtain rail story) x

Poems are already vital, pumping full of life and meaning within its words. But this, to add these spaces and contort the formatting is just beautiful; the poem becomes more alive, more real, as if it embodies its meaning. Just lovely work!
