Women Birds and a Star My bobinette flaps over each shoulder, fitted to a Juliet cap garlanded by spring flowers, heels pared to fit satin shoes, silk gown clings to skin smeared with petroleum jelly, bird-tears darken circles under feather-eyes, but flying high I’ll star-gaze pulled by magnetic force to Saturn, deck myself in diamond raindrops stuck to the mesh of my tulle veil. Janet Murray Janet Murray completed an MA in Writing at Sheffield Hallam Uni (2016) with Merit and won 1st Prize in the Fish International Poetry prize in 2018 with an ekphrastic poem called Vernacular Green which was published in their anthology of the same year. It was based on Howard Hodgkin’s relationship with the colour green. She has had individual poems published in The New Statesman, Sentinel Literary Quarterly and Millstone Grit anthology. She is currently completing an advanced poetry course with Richard Price at the Poetry School.
