Going to sit down and watch this! Thank you.

You're welcome! I truly hope you enjoy it. I watched it because it was short and by Alan Garner and readily available to me on the internet and then I had to write about it.

--I love, love, love this way of putting it.

Thank you. It's in the play's own symbol-set. I recognized a lot of its language from other Garner, but I think it would teach it to the viewer who did not.

And so many other turns of phrase and description: the brittle malevolence of visitors. Water's iron glass. Barley-mow hair. Prickle of trees.

And thank you, because that's just me.

... And when I read about the noise, the interference, I couldn't help thinking how deep your empathy for this character must be.

*hugs*

The poems are also lovely--I didn't know Alan Garner was also a poet.

I think he writes even fewer poems than novels, but his prose has always been so much like prose poetry, I like seeing the other form break out. Here's one I had never read before.
