I have just reread The Penny Dropping by #HelenFarish and it's absolutely stunning. I particularly love the connections between emotional states/stages of a relationship and everyday things. Highly recommended. Can't wait to share it w my students. #poetry #poems open.substack.com/pub/thefrida...

"I’m so glad I didn’t know
the last time was the last time
we went through the white gate
up the field, that I was able to turn
homeward happy."
