Dissection

Germander Speedwell was cultivated as a safe outlet for the irrepressible wordplaying of Evrah, as well as justification to continue to accumulate printed matter on a myriad of subjects.

Germander keeps her carefully collated collections of terminology, nomenclature, found phrases and lost language safely preserved in verse form, in combinations that are characterised by:

• excessive use of assonance and alliteration
• use of uncontrolled plosives
• sprinklings of spoonerisms
• writhings of rhythms

and are either rife with fact or riddled with fancy - and contain no artificial adjectives!

These pieces are best experienced aurally, and in performance are usually accompanied by some explanation of the sources, meanings and reasons - or otherwise.
