Featured Poet: Adele Guyton

Upon Visiting Clare College, Cambridge

Here I am, surrounded by living fossil 
in a form that could seem beautiful and profound 
were it not for the baleful apostle 
glaring down at 'Do Not Touch The Grass'. 
I am not made for this high mass 
in perpetuum, ad infinitum, et cetera.

The trees here are unkissable, 
ring-around-the-rosied with prestige. 
My wilderness here is unpermissible 
as a nose pressed to stained glass. 
I could not bear this kind of class! 
Imagine three years spent fettered up

by courtyards that make the sky seem frameable! 
This place could stand the test of molten time 
oozing over its search for the unnameable, 
but it won't stand for me - alas! 
I'm looking for a place with way more sass 
than any I could leave so lettered up!

- Adele Guyton

Adele Guyton

Once a week I feature an Artist or Poet. To start off this tradition, Adele Guyton has kindly contributed her poem below. Adele was a Brockwood student like myself and our paths crossed many times over Shakespeare, philosophy, singing-songwriting, and general merrymaking. She is a talented playwright, actress, singer-songwriter and poet (amongst other things). See for yourselves...
