ORPHEUS IN SOHO

My new web-page of poems by
ROSEMARY TONKS

can be read here.












I discovered her only yesterday.
She is as good as Sylvia Plath.

She had a Kurdish lover.

She reminds me of Jean Rhys.

She had a break-down,
subsequently became a Baptist
and was immersed in the river Jordan.

She disowned her poems
presumably because she thought them louche
and un-Christian.

But where did Jesus shit ?
There are no relics.
