I was walking along the concreted pathway
around the coast and stepping down
for a grassy lunch when I saw on the rocks
someone had painted “You are my most
lovely horizon,” something no one has ever

the limit and beyond, the line
and the light, and because you will never
reach these rocks where I saw this
message I will put it in a poem to sail
it out to you, a glassy launch.

In 2016, while the Katherine Mansfield Fellow in Menton, France, Anna Jackson began recording some of her thoughts and impressions in a notebook.  Over the three months of her tenure this grew into a lively and charming poetic essay, which weaves her own experiences with her engagement with other writers and texts, including her predecessor Katherine Mansfield. Full of insights and surprises.
