Do you ever wish for a blank slate? What would it cost?

These are exactly the questions that Rachel Long's The Yearner hopes to answer.

This week's poem looks at the pressures we all face in modern life and the toll our own experiences take on us.

Rachel Long weaves solid poetic technique and a unique ability to create intimacy together to show the lengths some people will go to to escape those pressures.
