My poem ‘The Limit’ features in Eyeflash 6. For some reason, I’ve been credited as D.T. Bennett, which represents a new nom-de-plume…
The Limit
The secrets you seal
inside a house
when you work on it.
The mirror in
that bedroom,
hides six holes
drilled in pairs
where I couldn’t
gauge the width.
After I finished
I looked into
the face in the glass
Worn, tired. Hold on
my friend. I said.
We’ve found our limit.

I'm a writer and poet. My first novel, All the Dogs, appeared in 2008, and was described by Niall Griffiths as 'a stirring debut, a compellingly written tract on the importance of finding a place on the earth.' My fiction has appeared in London Noir, Crimewave, Black Static and 3AM. I live in London, where, amongst other things, I teach Creative Writing for the Open University. https://absenceclub.com
