  • Malkin

    An Ellegy in 14 Spels

    Malkin is a vivid evocation of the trials of the Pendle Witches in 1612. The sequence of poems is delivered in the form of epitaphic monologues, with the accused men and women eerily addressing the reader with their confessions and pleas. Strikingly, Camille Ralphs has employed unorthodox spelling throughout the monologues, bringing out new meanings in familiar words and encouraging the reader to ... Read more

Love is written across the sky for the whole world to see, and whispered to a partner at the bus stop in the rain.
