Child in the Growing Old
‘Motherwell’s collection is cinematic and reflective. His deep love for the natural world glisters throughout these intimate poems. Fusing geology, history, and community, Motherwell reminds us that the sting and soothe can co-exist, a footpath apart. These are poems to hunker down with again and again.’
(Morag Anderson, poet)

Full Frontal
Diana Devlin has the ability to let your mind wander randomly here and there through her words, to dump your preconceptions in a ditch and then hold your hand as you turn a corner into another poem of originality and force. This collection by its very title is a full frontal embrace of crafted words. Let her take your hand - you won’t regret it.

Clota
Linda Devlin’s Clota is a bold rush at the world, like the collection’s namesake: goddess of the River Clyde. A mirrored ball reflecting numerous versions of ourselves and the spaces we occupy, this collection invites the reader to look closer, question ‘laundered thoughts’ and admit the dark truths of damage received or delivered. There is an undeniable fragility but, like the river, currents of strength run deep and fast. Renewal’s All I can do is add my fragment to the whole lingers long after reading. (Morag Anderson, poet)
