The Tuesday Poem: I Am Guest Editor On the Hub, Featuring Frankie McMillan

Today I am the guest editor on The Tuesday Poem Hub and have chosen to feature not one but two poems by fellow Christchurch poet, Frankie McMillan, starting with:

“Hour glass

she was a corsètiere
threading whale bone

through cloth

placing herself close
to the ocean

became lucrative

when whales surfaced
she saw

bustles, derrières…”

Artist: Nichola Shanley

“Hour glass” and “at night my dead mother appears wanting soup”

I look forward to seeing you on the Hu...
