To celebrate National Poetry Day here is a poem from one of the earlier Rack Press pamphlet collections,
Inconsequences (2006) by Dai Vaughan who sadly died earlier this year. Known as a documentary film editor and the author of imaginative and innovative fiction he also wrote poetry and we were very pleased to be able to publish this collection. [It is now out of print.]
Secret Games
Parachute taut,
Torn and tethered
In the tall tree,
The goat nibbling
At the green fern
Where, guardedly,
We hid playing
Infancy’s dear
Misdemeanours -
And in due time
Thus multiplied
The mimes of fear.
