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
 

 

The leaves of the Japanese Maple red
As the other trees are bare.

It has been the worst autumn I can remember
(Save one)
Walking New York, performing those old shared rituals
In pantomime.

From the 9th floor looking east:
Harlem, the lights of a bridge, Queens,
Long Island, New Cross?

The scars of latitude, lungs, i-
Solation.
