A Tale of Two Counties

by Ellora Sutton and Hannah Hodgson

Contains strong language

This zine is commended in the Collaborative Challenge on Young Poets Network in 2021.

Ellora says, "This zine was Hannah’s idea. We’re both very much children of Young Poets Network, we found each other through it, and when there was a challenge on collaborative work, it seemed perfect. Through it, I’ve written two new poems (‘Love Poem in Gold’ and ‘Shoes for Giselle’) that I never would have written before, and I’ve gotten to read two new stunning poems (‘Extracting Residual Stardust’ and ‘Signing Consent for a Heart Procedure’) from Hannah. The ‘White Space’ and ‘Take Note’ poems are from previous YPN challenges in which we were both winners. I think they all, though, speak in some way to what we’re going through now, from the minutiae of everyday life to the medical to straight-up love. There is always love."
