Description
An exhilarating and powerful poetry pamphlet, that is as direct as it is accomplished.
Loose the smouldering arrow:
start the fire.
While the prey-birds circle,
drench my pyre with
precious oils and
let me
blaze once more.
(from Codicil)

Reviews / Votes
"Texture is remarkable for the way its apparently casual free verse allows powerful images and themes to spill over themselves across its line endings in its rueful and headlong confessions and reflections. Its directness is exhilarating." - Ian GregsonMore details
