Has anyone else seen the Phil Jupitus poem on bbc2? He is in a cafe and hands over the jar, then says the poem. I cannot find the video anywhere. The poem is
A Jar of Honey by Jacob Polley
You hold it like a lit bulb,
a pound of light,
and swivel the stunned glow
around the fat glass sides:
it's the sun, all flesh and no bones
but for the floating knuckle
of honeycomb
attesting to the nature of the struggle.
Bit late down the line, almost a year on and all, but if you're still interested, you can find the video here: http://www.tomboy-films.co.uk/playmovie.asp?movID=515&dirID=13
ReplyDeleteA great little poem, from a great little book.
best, B
I'm fairly new to his work, but I just featured Jacob Polley in my poem of the day series. He's a wonderful, wonderful poet.
