All Comments on 'Persephone, descending'

Remarkable work. Simply wonderful. Beautiful allegorical poetry 5*

The most raw, realistic, subtle and acutely discerning account of Persephone's experience I've ever read. As usual you create a poetic world with vivid language that pushes into what is usually inexpressible. The "sound sense" or aural texture of your verse is so expressive if anyone reads your poem slowly aloud they will have an experience of being physically moved as well as emotionally and cognitively something few poems achieve with the intensity of yours. Bravo.

chthonicjourneys said it far more impressively than I ever could - well done! 5*s

Beautifully written. Xx

A passionate glimpse of Persephone’s descent!

Your words paint a masterpiece….the image is haunting.

I suffered this descent along with you. Every single word a sword, battering the psyche. Most poignant, most haunting, most raw and apt.
