Magpie

Revels in its disinterest “in stoves, those great civilizers” by celebrating a suburb of women compulsively overcome with pica: "Ever since I tore my mouth lock off, I’ve been binging / like a magpie, on every glint and texture". Written and read by Catriona Wright, filmed and edited by Nicole Coenen, starring Niki Carr and Ruth Douthwright, and directed and produced by Kevin Andrew Heslop, "Magpie" is part of the award-winning poetry anthology on film, mo(u)vements, available now exclusively from Astoria Pictures Inc. together with the companion seed-paper chapbook from Rose Garden Press.
