The Tuesday Poem this week is The Fox by Bernadette Hall, which in 2009 was recognised as one of the Best New Zealand Poems of 2008. featured by Helen Lowe -- who this week has done things a little differently and invited Bernadette Hall to speak to her poem, which was written while on Ireland's Rathcoola Fellowship:
"Ireland had this way of offering me ‘for real’ many things which literature had already embedded in my imagination ... "So, a ‘lyric fox’ crosses a glade and it seems that all along she’s been talking to me about poetry." -- Bernadette Hall
The fox is a single red stroke that cuts across
the clearing. The colour seems to hang like smoke,
you can almost see where she has come from."
