Lots of things are simple but not easy. Today’s poem makes this point, and in such a delightful way it makes me smile. Have a go at ‘A Quiet Life‘ by Baron Wormser—Garrison will read if you like (at about 2.27)—and see if it makes you smile too.

reviews

“A new and compelling voice, at once both disciplined and passionate, both serious and moving.”
— RV Bailey

“great fluency, directness and command – a really impressive achievement. Every line feels deep and true, and very important in the most direct and clear way, and I hope [‘the two mercies’] is read and treasured by many’

—Clare Shaw

“… the lift of [‘bread of heaven’], steadily rising from the mundanity of sliced bread to an intimation of grace, all managed in a plain conversational style is quite something to behold”

—Greta Stoddart

“… Astonishing precision and accuracy… rhythmically and sonically superb.”
—Martyn Crucefix
