Christina’s World My world is filled with huge skies – untroubled by clouds or rain – where blades of grass wave endlessly in the breeze. My world is a worn clapboard house – weathered to a pale grey – an island sitting on the horizon where I crawl like a crab on a New England shore. My world is the heady smell of grass, warm in the summer evening, below me rich crumbs of earth which I grasp in my stained hands. My world is the constant hum of crickets, mice and ants moving briskly beneath me, my dress pink like faded lobster shells in the swell and curve of a limitless field. Annest Gwilym *Text in italics by Andrew Wyeth Annest Gwilym is the author of three books of poetry. Surfacing (2018) and What the Owl Taught Me (2020), were both published by Lapwing Publications.
