This anthology has been compiled to celebrate a community of poets
who have gathered over the past 21 years at the Torriano Meeting
House. This is a small but internationally known cultural space in
Kentish Town, North London, where Sunday evening readings have been
held since 1982. Contributors include: Christopher Hampton, John
Heath-Stubbs, John Hegley, Judith Kanzantzis, Jeremy Reed, Labi
Siffre and Sarah Lawson.
An illustrated collection of poetry by the British poet John
Heath-Stubbs. Prolific during the 1940s and 1950s, Heath-Stubbs
received the Queen's Gold Medal for poetry in 1958, and later the
O.B.E for services to literature.
Sahara: An account in verse of a journey by four intrepid
travellers - including George - through the interior of Libya to
the Akakus, in search of ancient rock drawings. Skilfully composed
stanzas combine traditional form with modern sensibility, comedy,
literary allusion and descriptions of desert history in an
absorbing fast-moving narrative.
This anthology covers a broad span of writing, from a poet's vision
of the biological process to protest songs such as Designer Kidz.
Award-winning poet and author Helen Mort describes the collection
of poetry, paintings, artwork, and ideas found in The Quiet Woman
as, "life-changing and affirming, alive to grief but full of
defiance". The comedy screen-writer Maggie Rowe describes the book
and its author as, "a miracle". Emily's 40 poems and 40 pieces of
art grapple openly with and embrace questions of womanhood, faith,
doubt, motherhood, radical theology, suicide, embodiment, female
empowerment, abuse, domesticity, mysticism, ecology, love, loss,
religion, inclusion, imperfection, spirituality, pain,
deconstruction, self-love, and surrender. The Quiet Woman is for
anyone who is reaching for words that bring comfort and hope. It's
for anyone seeking to redefine the traditional image of a Quiet
Woman. A woman who is Quiet because she's breathing in, filling her
lungs, ready to roar. A woman who is Quiet because she doesn't need
to ask for outside validation. A woman who is Quiet because she's
busy getting the rest she needs in order to thrive. A woman who is
Quiet because she's focused on listening intently to her own voice.
