New Collection by Sukhema (Larry Butler)

There Are Others

Available September 2026

‘I read these poems between potting-on tree seedlings. The poems are fresh, playful, full of mystery and wonder, replete with dying and with compassion. These are requiems for the ephemeral, and for gone friends; they are the poems of a friend, even if you never met. Like the tree seedlings they resemble, they grow to be vibrant and nourishing; they are patient, hopeful, wise, to be savoured, to be cherished.’

(Gerry Loose, writer. RIP)
