Editor Peter Thabit Jones of The Seventh Quarry Poetry Magazine and Press published a couple of Larew's "can't sit still" poems in Issue 40. Combed Down is giddy curious about Spring. And, Travelling In is a jaunt around love's map.
Here's info about The Seventh Quarry -- THE SEVENTH QUARRY POETRY MAGAZINE AND PRESS – TheSeventhQuarryPress
And here's the final stanza of Combed Down --
But truth be told it's probably this blue kitchen stool
That comes nearest to Spring's wisdom
Because somehow it always seems to scoot its skinny legs
Over to the window
Whenever it hears the birds coming home.
And thanks to poet Mike Ratcliffe for translating the stanza into Welsh --
Ond dweud y gwir, mae hi’n ol pob tebyg mae y stol gegin glas hon
Hynny yn dod yn agosaf i doethineb y Wanwyn
Achos rhywfodd mae hi’n ymddangos bob amser symud hi coesau tenau
Dros i’r ffenestr
Pa bryd bynnag mae hi’n clywed y adar dod adref.
