Sorry!

I've written a poem in response to an image of a lithograph at the wonderful Mary Evans Picture Library. It moved me. I suspect my strong feelings are also in part down to reading the wonderfully written (and vivid) Ian McGuire's North Water - giving the reader a true sense of the brutal, cold, cruelty of the bloody business of whale-killing in the 19th century. To read the rest of the poem, please head over to the Mary Evans Picture Library at https://www.maryevans.com/poetry.php?post_id=12664&view=poem&prv=poem
