Housepost

about

Anglo-Saxon verse sometimes imagines an inanimate object speaking, a key, an onion, the cross on which Jesus was crucified... This poem, in Old English metre, imagines the thoughts of the housepost - the essential stapol on which the house rests.

about

Math Jones Oxford, UK

London born and based, I've been writing on and off my whole life - mythologies, rituals, stories, divinations, - much of it as a pagan.
