Anvil Press Poetry

‘In times and in places of casual, idle and very deliberate forgetting, these poems, so precise, sharp, sensuously present, answer back by remembering. They carry out their own injunction: “keep the small integrities/pass them on.” ’
– David Constantine

‘a complex, subtle poet … Feldman treats the writing of poetry with respect, producing skilfully crafted poems where every word is chosen with care, and there is nothing superfluous’
– Belinda Cooke, Stride Magazine

Swift

how many are we

wedged in improbable
chinks, fidgeting
       amid dry stalks
we’ve posited one by one
on what’s left
           of an old design we keep
(these boomerang wings)
coming back to

who crave only
            airy
                       unbelonging

in truth the sole
                 compelling delight
we fledged & fell for

                                          let others inherit
                                          the earth
