Catching Pink Breath
From winter solstice to Christmas Eve to August 6th and many dates in between, these poems touch people , places and feelings. Where "our tragedies stack up high," we seek some kind of rational explanation. It was "the bad apple moon" says Kirsty in On World Book Day Kirsty has had enough, while the mysterious figure in Spit on Palms prefers to talk about "a seer lemon sickle/above the flooded quarry's/black."
Twenty-six poems in the latest collection from John Irving Clarke, enough to make you catch pink breath. Use the contact page to get your copy for £8.50 including p+p.

Every night Tom Kieran heard the noises. Step forward Rachel Jane Bate and Jo Atter for some beautiful illustration and design work on this bedtime story book. There's owls, foxes and geese preventing Tom Kieran from getting a good night's sleep. No wonder Mum is getting frustrated.
Anyway, this lovely book can be yours for £5. All profits will go to Wakefield Autism Leisure Club (W.A.L.C.) a sports club for children and young adults with learning difficulties.
There's no other way to say this. Jimmy Andrex's book is an absolute cracker. Okay, not having a title is a bit of a drawback, but it does give a flavour of Mr Andrex's indomitable style. Pick it up, open the cover and treat yourself to a really challenging yet absorbing read. Meet characters such as the Salvation Army Man and the shepherd who deals with the hard graft of lambing time in her pink hoodie. Transport yourself from Hotel Britannia to the Yorkshire Zombie Holocaust and then stand in awe before the picture painted in Youth. For make no mistake, the bravura style, which sustains Jimmy Andrex the spoken word performer, is here in spades. This book provides the evidence that Jimmy is a poet for our times: artful, imaginative and choc full of integrity. Look, why are you still reading this? Buy the book.
