Between Coastal Rocks & Softer Places

WINNER OF THE 2022 INTERNATIONAL WELSH POETRY AWARD!

This first collection reflects on environments, physical and emotional, that traverse several decades of musings.

From the wispy winds of, ‘I Sail’, to the forlorn, ‘Tick of the Clock’, to a black cat tour in an English cemetery, ‘The Resting place at Highgate’. Other works will take you to the water, a place of magic colours, and sacrament, a reverence…or loss…

Shifts in mood, voice and rhythm allow for short episodes, some with ironic humour. Intertwined narratives, for light or folly, are just that.

Not so unique are stories of family, meant for thinking deeply.

‘I will return again and again to this poetry collection as one should, there is something to be found anew each time.’
Nanette Fox, Author of "Finding Izzy"
