New poetry collection by Shane McCauley
Andrew’s friend, Shane McCauley, has published a new collection of poetry, titled Ghost Catcher. The collection has been published by Studio magazine, which has given its entire 125th edition to showcase Shane’s poetry.
Here is one of Shane’s beautifully realised poems from Ghost Catcher:
Wind-Spooked
Startled mid-stride
by this icy gust
the returning cat
black-arrows through
tunnel of its sudden fear
is chased along
the leaf scattered path
of inelegant anxiety
scoots past reaching branches
and all the claws
hidden in the hunting cold
until escapes scurry
in the brain and it
unhurriedly sloughs off
the moment
and steps calmly
from the rain.
