Likestarlings is a place for talking in poems. We pair poets with poets and they write a sequence of six new works by responding in turn to one another. Our palaver blog goes beyond poetry to discuss collaboration in theory and in practice. Please take a look, and feel free to add comments, opinions and suggestions here. Read poems here
 

What she found

In the boat near her head:
Rope, tweezers, a sea more standard than un

In the boat near her hand:
Three freckles left by the boatswain, feckless

These she tipped out of both boats, she tipped
Over and out, both boats
Looking one to the other
Across a swanky abyss
