The Tuesday Poem


The Tuesday Poem this week is "Implausible Birds" by K. Robinson, selected by Zireaux


Zireaux says about this poem:

Last year I received an email from ... a young Canberra poet asking for advice on that oxymoronic illusion - a “poetry career.” She shared some of her work with me, requested my feedback, and her “Implausible Birds” is no doubt a poem worth sharing with the Tuesday Poem community. The work is a response to Ian McEwen’s remarkable novel, Atonement.Ms. Robinson has lifted her poem’s title directly from a description of the painted birds on an exquisite, beautifully-crafted, time-traveling vase that serves as a kind of cynosure to McEwan’s exquisite, beautifully-crafted, time-traveling story
