For this year’s Halloween poem I have chosen C.S. Hughes’ A Prisoner of This Tower, for the eerie connection between the verse and those who perished in the Tower of London who have been on my mind of late.

We acknowledge the Brayakaulung people of the Gunaikurnai nation as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we dwell, Wurruk Wurruk, and their continuing connection to land, sea, and culture. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging, and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
