Notes

  • Author's note: we look before and after, and pine for what is not’ is from Percy Bysshe Shelley’s ‘To a Skylark’; ‘you crave nothing save the song’ is from George Meredith’s ‘The Lark Ascending’. The Golden Shovel is a poetic form ‘devised…by Terrance Hayes in homage to Gwendolyn Brooks… The last words of each line in a Golden Shovel poem are, in order, words from a line or lines taken often, but not invariably, from a Brooks poem.’ – Don Share, ‘Introduction: The Golden Shovel’, Poetry. In ‘The morning fog (A Golden Shovel after Kate Bush)’, the last words of each line are from the first verse of Kate Bush’s song ‘The Morning Fog’.
