Julia Webb

“There is faraway bird-call,

the startled flap of a fresh waked pigeon,

A deer eye appears,

and vanishes back into shadow.”

Extract from poetry collection ‘Bird Sisters’ – included in the showcase

“Many of the poems in the collection explore the theme of family and sisterhood in some way, I am interested in the everyday stuff of real life, how people relate to each other especially within families, the stories and myths that families generate about themselves and the mental games that people play.”
