Morgana,
Caught in Her Own Spell
Set
me free now awhile
my
heart is full of flames, so
many
too many dreams
I
collect
rail
upon rail
like
beautiful dresses
nestled
inside them
my
dreams are
sheer
silver sings of mist
my
ribs make a cage of
dragon’s
breath
dragon’s
breath
my
ribs make a cage of
sheer
silver wings of mist
my
dreams are
nestled
inside them
like
beautiful dresses
rail
upon rail
I
collect
many
too many dreams
my
heart is full of flames, so
set
me free now awhile
Susan
Taylor has been weaving words since she was 16 when she left school. An
ex-shepherd from Lincolnshire, she now lives on Dartmoor and the moor’s
windswept landscapes have drawn her to the wild side – she’s now a devotee of
wolves. La Loba Speaks for Wolf is her ninth poetry collection,
out this spring from Bx3. This illustrated book contains sound poems, shaped
poems and spell-like incantations. It’s a whole mixed bag, which doubles as the
script for her solo show of the same title, which she is currently redeveloping
after the enforced pause of lockdown.
Previous career highlights include Centre Director at the Arvon Foundation in the 1980’s and teaching at Bath Spa University, where she gained her MA in Creative Writing. She has nine poetry collections, including three from Oversteps Books. Her most recent study was a year’s course with The West Country School of Myth and Storytelling with Dr Martin Shaw.
