Ruth Sharman

Tellisford Weir

Tellisford Weir

by Ruth Sharman — We’ve swum in this river before, / though no one steps / in the same river twice. // The glassy shock, four or five frantic strokes / before we glide downstream / as if we could go on for ever: // these are familiar; what's new
painting of a verdant hillside with a peacock in the foreground in front of some purple flowers

That first bright garden

Annie Fisher reviews Rain Tree by Ruth Sharman (Templar, 2022)
