'Barroco' a new poem by Will Eaves

May 2015, no. 371

If I were to write down a list
of everything I miss I’d miss

who clawed to death a fox
and Bedlington terrier’ – or this

Will Eaves

Will Eaves most recent book, The Absent Therapist, was shortlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize 2014 and will be published in Australia by Penguin later this year.
