Poem of the month: Mirror in February

Every February, the same poem: Thomas Kinsella’s.

On the first of every month, I send a poem to a random, and ever-expanding, group of past and present colleagues. I’ve been doing it for about 16 years.

Every February I send the same one: Mirror in February, by Thomas Kinsella. Every September, it’s his Another September. I studied both at school, and Kinsella is a personal favourite.
