lorna goodison poem - help!!!

[mrs c]

My daughter is trying to find the words of a Lorna Goodison poem called Tightrope Walker. We have both spent ages looking for this but with no luck. I have tracked this down as being in her Selected Poems book but our library do not have this book.

Does anyone know the words of this poem? I know its a bit of a longshot but you never know, someone on here just may know this.

ds seems to remember it's a gcse poem about her life and you might find it in a book in somewhere like WH Smith.

I found an essay about it but not the poem itself!!
The selected poems is on Amazon from £11.70.

I found that too, not the poem sadly.

Thank you both for your help. Yes it is for GCSE. My daughter has just started teaching English and remembered this poem from a few years back. She was planning her lessons last night for the next few days and wanted to do this with her class before Friday. Only problem is to try and buy the book online meant it wouldn't arrive in time - hence 'Mum, can you try and find this for me'. Ah well she will have to sort something else out. Thanks again tho
