My interview with award winning poet and editor of Poetry Review, Fiona Sampson, can be found on the Write out Loud website here. Tuesday, 17 January 2012. Time to eat fat. Winter. Time to eat fat. And watch hockey. In the pewter mornings, the cat,. A black fur sausage with yellow. Houdini eyes, jumps up on the bed and tries. To get onto my head. It’s his. On my chest, breathing his breath.
