Listen "Kevin Patrick McCarthy - Enough Sky"
Episode Synopsis
'Enough Sky' was commended in The Poetry Society's 2014 National Poetry Competition.
From the judges: 'From the start, 'Enough Sky' impresses with its tight lyricism and careful adjectives. It is delightfully elusive and warrants repeated reading. A poem which crept up on me and won me over with its spell and its surprising phrases - 'urging tangerine starward', 'seeking gauze to pull away''. This is a poem which feels longer than it is because it packs in a lot - lush and distilled.'' - Roddy Lumsden.
