New Poem by Maureen Jivani

Eyewear is glad to publish a new poem by poet Maureen Jivani this Bank Holiday Monday (the last of 2010, alas).  Jivani's Insensible Heart was recently shortlisted for an important new London literary award.


The Dogs of Nadadouro        

Look, there will always be dogs on the sand

yowling inconsolably at the tide’s return

just as elsewhere a lone wolf in search of his pack,

descending a mountain, yips at the moon

and look how our father, building his house of cards

on the glass-topped table, whistles to himself.
