Fool's Paradise
Fool’s Paradise is a mystical poem for voices – inspired by a visit to Prague after the Velvet Revolution – the poem spans the political and spiritual elements of a world where one is always an exile.
This is an extraordinary piece of writing: truly compelling. Alison Brackenbury.
Fool’s Paradise is a dive into the uncanny: into that rich heritage of myth in which we find ourselves both far from home, and simultaneously at home. Fiona Sampson
Owl Unbound
Owl Unbound examines nature and humanity in a wide range of settings; from a stag beetle on a suburban fence to fossils on a Somerset beach, from a Cotswold roofer “tiptoeing the thin laths” to a bag lady in Covent Garden “dancing at the amplifier's right hand”. Whilst there is tender joy and love in the collection, there is also anger and loss.
Robert Frost described poetry as ‘a way of taking life by the throat’, and the fearless, vivid and immensely lyrical poems in Owl Unbound do just that. A masterful collection of poems by an extraordinary poet. Anna Saunders
