CATHY ALTMANN

Stars Like Salt

Cathy Altmann’s mastery of voice, and of the tumblingly fluid potential of the short free-verse line bring to us a sumptuous poetry in the simplest language. These poems of spider webs, sand grains, tidelines, small fish by a pier, trees that sing are truly, in her sure hands, ‘ziplines of joy’. Kevin Brophy

Available as Digital book (downloadable PDF) or Softcover book

ANNE KELLAS

Ways to Say Goodbye

In this collection the reader is taken through dream sequences, abstract, ekphrastic and imagistic poems as well as deeply personal poems of loss. The effect is a cumulative building of a quiet world of reflective resilience as the poet tries out possible ways to do what is almost impossible – to love and to say goodbye.

These poems, their accounts of the ways art, chance talk, angels, birds, memories and music can come at us with terrible and tender truths, are gifts that teach us how ‘to read the mind of clouds. Kevin Brophy

Available as Softcover book, Digital book (downloadable PDF) and Audiobook (downloadable MP3 file)

ANNE M. CARSON

The Detective's Chair:

Prose Poems about Fictional Detectives

Do you love detective fiction or intriguing character studies? Have you ever thought about that creative spark that solves the puzzle? Drawing inspiration from a range of her favourite fictional detectives, Anne M. Carson has created a wonderful, whimsical collection of 32 short prose poems which suggests a creative correlation between problem solving and the crafting of a poem.

In a playful homage to these colourful fictional sleuths, Carson focuses in on the nature of creativity itself, acknowledging that it’s often in these moments of reflective ‘sitting,’ away from the bustle of clue collecting and intentional effort, that the pieces of the ‘solution’ – be it crime or poem – might start coming together. Each poem is beautifully illustrated with delicate line drawings by René Carrasco, bringing to life the different space of reflective possibility for that detective.

Available as Digital book (downloadable PDF) or Softcover book
