The Boy Who Came Ashore by Alan GayAdd to Basket |
View Sample |
ISBN : 0-9549257-4-2 PRICE : £5.50
Alan Gay evokes the loss of the fishing fleet off the Berwickshire Coast in 1881...he seeks to give voice to those who drowned...through a variety of poetic form and reportage, drawing on his own...seamanship, he pieces together the fragments...seeking to understand what happened from a nautical as well as from a human point of view, in a manner that is both sympathetic and unadorned. We sense ourselves in the very vessels alongside the courageous fishermen whose loss of life and living over a century ago still haunts us.

Seats for Landing by Ciara MacLavertyAdd to Basket |

ISBN : 0-9549257-2-6 Price : £5.00
Few poets write as well about childhood as Ms MacLaverty, whose musings and mullings-over find epiphanies … in the likeliest places … but it’s the unlikely things she does with these familiar (though powerfully personal) moments of recollected insight, and their implications for the present and future, that make this adept young writer so touching, amusing and exhilarating. Accessible, enjoyable and generous writing from a distinct and unique voice |

Shake-Out Glamour by Gerry Bradshaw & Julie MacphersonAdd to Basket |
View Sample |
ISBN : 0-9549257-1-8 Price: £5.00
These are close friends, a double act – socially joined at the quip – but not quite of an age and not quite of a temper, so that although the (thoroughgoingly fine poems chum each other along) the pairing is as fascinating for its contrasts as it is for its equivalences. In this chiaroscuro, the sources of light and shadow, continually change, with each poet offering illumination and darkness, surface and depth; life’s large themes revealed in it’s little details.

Frostburn Steel by William Gault BonarAdd to Basket |
View Sample |
ISBN 0-9549257-O-X Price £5.00
The poems in this first collection are taut and spare, yet generous, brimful of intelligence. This is a poet who is blessed with great timing, knows how to make us wait, using understatement to great effect. His poems haunt us with their sense of living on borrowed time, with their need to ask difficult questions, broach painful truths, square up to the past. |
