Poetry

In the course of forty years an increasingly subtle conversation has evolved between words and silence at the core of Philip Gross's poetry. This is never more so than in the poems of this edgy homage to Estonia, the country of his father's birth.

With each new collection, Philip Gross' poems extend their conversation between the metaphysical and the acutely physical.

There is no doubting the profound intent and varied ambition of this collection. Caught in the withering and implacable gaze of war, Owen refuses to flinch.

Weaving together personal stories, Threads deals with the meanings of intimacy, vulnerability and our affinities with people and places, both wild and tame.

In this gathering of twelve greetings for the Christmas season Stuart Henson combines once again with artist Bill Sanderson whose illuminated initial designs add a rich and mysterious dimension to each poem.

Rosemary May Wells’ fourth collection of poems is the companion to her first, God is an Onion. It encompasses global and everyday life events, as well as people and friendships, and the natural world and the local area.

A volume of poetry mainly about Gospel stories and religious experience.

A child bride paralysed by fear, a man trapped in a life of slavery, a couple imprisoned for simply loving one another, a woman who refuses to bow to social pressure.
