About

Written between the ages of 13 and 14, the poems in Oracle reveal an insight and maturity far beyond their author's years, and herald the arrival of a new poetic voice with a fresh and vivid perspective on some very ancient themes. Drawing on Classical myth, the poems bring a contemporary focus to these stories from the antique world.

"From the mouth of a babe-poet, a first try of the highest order, thus, a classic little take on the classics." — MTC Cronin

The Soothsayer

I am the soothsayer
Bring me
The grain
Of sand

I will bleed it
As you bleed a heart
I will strain it
As you strain a breath

Every heart
Contains the future
Every breath
The forging of a blade
