Bio
Jessamine O Connor lives in the west of Ireland where she has been lately writing long poems
without noticing. These are the first short ones in a while. Her fifth chapbook "Pact" is available
through her site and Kennys.ie, and her
first full collection is due with Salmon Poetry in early 2020.

Jessamine O Connor
Memory Cut To Fit
Just what we needed;
a weekend away,
just you and me
and a cheap internet deal.
The horrors of
my huge reflection
bouncing from
a hundred hotel mirrors.
I moped and clung,
gravely enduring
the movements
of the bump.
Now we only remember
the floods, the detour,
the sea,
and the bargains you can find online.
