London is full of echoes and shadows of the past. Sometimes this past was barbarically cruel towards those who were different. These poems are poems of remembering and healing.
The novel, ‘Green Twining’ is set on the Lincolnshire Marsh in 1985. The central character, Joe, was born in 1966 and went to the Primary school in the Village of Midwells-by-the-Marsh, not far from his home at Green Twining Farm.
Primary schools could be quite brutal places in 1971, out on the Marsh, with constant scrapping in the playground and with some support staff having the idea that the way to look after more vulnerable children was to tell them, ‘If he hit you, hit him back!’
One of the themes of ‘Green Twining’ is how – as part of Nature and the Earth itself – when we come together, in friendship or in romance, our unity reflects and actualises the unity of reality.
Romance can have a deep spiritual quality! It can be a real awakening, especially within the Queerness of Nature!
As a young, gay man, living out on the Lincolnshire Marsh at Green Twining Farm, Joe Coffin feels particularly isolated and alone.
