Hear Me Crack and Melt
a collection of narrative based love poems.
by Lytisha Tunbridge
“Like an archaeologist uncovering fragments of treasure, or
a prospector discovering tiny gold nuggets, Lytisha reveals

them all to the surface where they can shine and we can
recognise pieces of our own experience”
