Geraldine Connolly School Poems
- 1. Why I Was Sent To Boarding School
to lengthen my hemlines and straighten
my morals
because I was difficult
... - 2. New Territory
Sent off to boarding school
at twelve, with a pair of oxfords,
a pair of patents, my sterling
silver christening rosary
... - 3. Regrets
Out of their secret places
in autumn, from under
dark logs and smooth gravestones
...
