MOIRA ANDREW |
I write because I must. I write to explore emotions, to express frustration — grief, love, joy. After my husband died, I wrote every day, poem after poem. They were raw - even funny at times, but always true. Later they made a book, This year, Next year. I write to bring back memories, to give the dead their voices once again, ‘I could do with a shave, he says rasping his two-day beard’ and I hear his gentle Welsh accent. Poems are true as photographs, sometimes even better. I write to share the funny side of things, like that very first kiss when I fell shattering my new boyfriend’s record collection, That first kiss. And I write to say I love you. Poems beat impersonal Valentine cards any day! My latest collection Imagine a Kiss was published last year by D&W. I write because I must. Moira Andrew's latest collection Imagine a Kiss was published last year by Dempsey & Windle |
