It Must Have Been Hot In My Room by Ailsa Cox

I am not so old myself.
I will be famous by the time
I’m 30, 25 or 21,
Yet am already strangely 27.

Taken from Young Poet

This is Ailsa Cox’s first and only collection of poetry published by Commonword. It is part of the Tightfisted Poets series of cheap, accessible pamphlets produced by women at Commonword.
