West Coast, North Hill, Flax 007 |
|
 West Coast, North Hill offers poetry that comes from the internal and external landscapes of the North West of England. As with any area, borders are not easily defined, we might be one place, thinking of another, we might be about to leave, or have just returned. So, these poems also travel across continents.

Askance images of the seemingly innocent, a delight in speech and dialect, and the twist of honesty all vie with being the most memorable element of the volume.
There are links and connections that bounce between and bind the poems and the writers that make this a collection one that grows beyond their individualities. It is the difference that is the glue.
They will open all readers to a new imagined life, the gaps and unspoken thoughts that swirl around us in the streets, ghylls and footsteps of this region. |
