Escaping the Cage
by Kate Scott
The poems in this new pamphlet open casually, then dip into sudden intensity. There's a sense of electric charge between the lines, sometimes reassuring in its insistence, sometimes sounding a note of danger. This is a poet who is heart-stoppingly tender as well as startlingly honest. - HappenStance

All the men I've never slept with gather in the room. I run my fingers down their runner-bean spines to their apple-tight buttocks, their courgette thighs. Their skins are glistening-dark as aubergine, pale as parsnip. How they would dance: two-four, four-four, eight! I count and count and count. And then you get up: the men scatter to the walls, rattled like dry rice. Strolling past, you lay your hand upon my head, brand me with your warmth, and all the men I've never slept with go passing through the chink in the door, slip into the untasted night.Other books by Kate Scott
