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)
