Beautiful water poem, simmering enmity in the middle really adds depth and a time line, perfectly crafted as ever, Juliet.

Evocative, simple imagery. I really like the line “the fish eagle’s cry” as it conjured natural, free-plunging waterfalls; wildlife left to flourish; Japan …

Magnificent, Juliet. A tight poem through and through, with not one word wasted.

I want to ask: Do you sometimes visit Malawi? Your image of it is still so fresh…

How wonderful. I know that rain… at least in my imagination. It’s warm and good. Thank you.
