Work Overview
Starfish, to a poem of the same name by Margaret Bradstock, is a playful work. The poem struck me immediately as something I saw myself in as a young boy and reflected further in my young son. At the time of composing I was living by the beach and regularly went to the rock pools with my son to explore. The work feels close to these experiences and part of my identity and my son's, growing up by the sea, at least for a while.
