National Poetry Day

This is a poem I wrote in 2008 about Gerard de Nerval and his lobster.

It's in my one and only (well, so far, Ed.) collection - HOW TO HUG and other poems - which was  published in a small edition by Mariscat in December 2009. It sold out, but there are copies online, if you want to seek it out.

I have always loved lobsters and have never eaten one.
