Every now and again (NOT very often) I find something, read something, hear something that just blows my mind. Something that feels right, like it could have been created just for me. Something that’s so good it’s like there’s nothing to compare it to.
And I’m feeling like that at the moment about Willful Creatures, by Aimee Bender. It’s just brilliant. I’ve not finished it – I don’t want to, because once I’ve finished it, that’ll be it, I’ll have read it and it will be over.
You can hear one of the stories being read here.

ADDED (A little later)…
What on earth is this all about? People calling for a poetry anthology, used in GCSE papers, to be destroyed because a poem in it mentions knife crime????? Methinks someone’s missed the point. Bloody ridiculous. Me also thinks that certain people should give teenagers a little bit more credit. Honestly.
AND. .. Wouldn’t you hope that the people marking these papers (or invigilating) understood the poems themselves?
