My poetry pamphlet Dove, Deferred
My pamphlet Dove, Deferred , featuring 23 poems written between 2008 and 2020, was printed on 3rd November, and is the first title in my burgeoning small press project The Z Press. Concerning wildlife, childhood memories, and loss, Dove, Deferred also contains the first poems I wrote after the death of my father in 2018. These poems of moonlight, stars, "unravelling skies" and winter sun inhabit liminal landscapes, the "frozen folklore" of caves, "the bridges, bends and viaducts" of railways, the elusive trails of wild animals, and the moors and valleys of my home county of Yorkshire. Some of the poems have been published in Allegro Poetry, and In Posse Review. Dove, Deferred is available directly from myself (email caterpillarpoetry@gmail.com) and will soon be available to loan from various library services, and if possible at various book shops.
