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
 

Some small history

 

we’re halfway up
kneedeep in history
eyehigh in reverie

we’re telling symbols
like house ground sea
like bitch queer dropout

balanced on a graveyard of whalebone stays
handcuffed to boys rent and beaten
lit in glitter of gutter riots

there is nothing as solid
as the weight of bodies
under our feet
