Plenty
Dixon’s ‘Plenty’ explores childhood struggles and a grown appreciation for a mother’s sacrifices, tinged with nostalgia.

Weather Eye
‘Weather Eye’ by Isobel Dixon is a beautiful poem about childhood. It describes the routines that controlled a speaker’s life during their youth and how they miss the order and family time.
In summer when the Christmas beetles
filled each day with thin brass shrilling,
heat would wake you, lapping at the sheet,
and drive you up and out into the glare
