Greg Gilbert, Love Makes a Mess of Dying - examining the collision between tragedy and hope, these poems follow the struggle to make sense of the prognosis and treatment of a life-threatening disease whilst surrounded by the love and support of friends and family. With cover illustrations by the author.
Karen Smith, Schist - Schist is the lovechild of emotion and geology, the product of a childhood with a schizophrenic mother and an anorexic father on a council estate in Croydon. These poems travel to where the land gives way to the sea and family stability is eroded by illness and death.
Louise G. Cole, Soft Touch - sharp and observant, Louise G. Cole's poems use wry humour to balance the pathos arising from picking holes in life s day-to-day dramas. She often finds poetry in the mundane, twisting fantasy and truth with a memorable resonance.
Yvonne Reddick, Spikenard - Spikenard smoulders with lust and loss. These are poems of separation, assault and revenge, with violence lurking in their margins.
