Great Regulars: Many of her poems,

can be seen as songs; indeed, there is a clear reference here to the popular song 'I'll take you home again, Kathleen'. In [Jenny] Joseph's lyric, Kathleen stands in for all of us, as we experience love variously 'turning the world' or 'wringing the heart of its blood'."
