Friday Poem – ‘St Michael’s’ by Paul Henry
This week’s Friday Poem is ‘St Michael’s’ by Paul Henry from his collection The Glass Aisle.
The Glass Aisle is Paul Henry’s tenth book of verse and features all the lyrical precision, empathy for the human condition and deep sense of temporal loss that have become the hallmarks of his work. The poems move between rage and stillness, past and present, music and silence. The title poem is a moving elegy to displaced workhouse residents, set on a stretch of canal in the Brecon Beacons National Park, in which a telephone engineer unwittingly connects the centuries.
