Helen Ivory

The Friday Poem 'The End of the Pier Show' by Helen Ivory

The End of the Pier Show

by Helen Ivory — Roll up roll up ladies and gentlemen / for this once in a lifetime, once in a deathtime experience / coming to your town for one night only / this five-ring circus of mythic proportions! // Take off
photo of Helen Ivory looking up at the sky wearing a black top with a little lacy white collar, red earrings, red lippy and black sunglasses, against buildings. Definitely a foxy rockabilly vibe going on here.

Wild Hearted Woman

Feature: Helen Ivory writes on belonging, identity and finding a voice, and wonders whether hers has a Luton accent
