There will be no mention of Xenomorph ova in this issue. No reference to Humpty Dumpty. Nothing at all about ostriches, dinosaurs or turtles.
There will be very little about omelettes. You need to break a few whats to make one?
As we called for poems on the theme of ‘Egg’ it was no surprise that some of the work that came in was hard-boiled. Some was over easy. Some was scrambled.
We selected a dozen pieces that do not necessarily fit in the same box, all the better to complement each other.
Thank you to all the poets and to Sophie Lawlor for her delightful art. Together they make this a cracking issue of the Pickled Body. Tuck in.
