Andre Bagoo, who is the editor of Moko Magazine asked me to submit a critique of a favourite poem. I selected Craig Raine’s “How Snow Falls” as he is one of the original Martian Poets whose writing looks at and reinvents the world through lively metaphorical imagery. His  collection “A Martian Sends A Postcard Home”  introduces and uses language that a Martian might use to describe what he encounters on the earth to his fellow Martians back home. The language is one of seeing  the world through a context outside of the familiar comparisons. I found a connection to and encouragement from the work of the Martian Poets as I began to explore my use of image metaphor in poems.
