his fingers have left

Five new poems from Deanna Rodger. Each one inspired by one of Kevin Elyot’s plays:

Coming Clean, Forty Winks, And Then There Were None, Perfect Moment, Twilight Song

To honour the emphasis Elyot placed on style and form, all poems: Must be written from the perspective of an inanimate object. Must be written in a poetic form. Must be on the theme of sex.

This work was inspired and developed through the generous support of the Kevin Elyot Award

at the University of Bristol Theatre Collection.
