POLLY WALSHE, SILVER FOLD
ISBN 978-1-7392812-6-7
We are always starting out – from ourselves and our pasts, from our own words and ideas. The poems in Silver Fold are preoccupied with how far from ourselves we can ever get, and with our struggle to make words say the fresh things we constantly need them to say.
Polly Walshe is a poet and painter. In recent years her poems have appeared in Acumen, Pennine Platform, PN Review, The London Magazine, 14 Magazine, Shearsman, The High Window and The Spectator. She was longlisted three times in the National Poetry Competition, in 2019, 2020 and 2022. In 2019, a selection of her poetry featured alongside Melissa Ruben’s paintings in the exhibition Night Vision(s) at the Atlantic Gallery in New York City, and in the same year she won the Frogmore Prize. Her novel The Latecomer was published by Random House in 1997 and won a Betty Trask Award. Silver Fold is her first pamphlet of poems.
GRAEME RICHARDSON, LAST OF THE COALMINE CHOIRBOYS
ISBN 978-1-7392812-5-0
In this deeply personal collection, elegy and lament mix with tall tales and double entendre. Far from home, looking at parenting and priesthood, at the death of children and the end of childhood, these poems contend that the solution to the pain of loss and persistence of grief is humour, music, memory.
Graeme Richardson grew up in Nottinghamshire, and now lives and works in Germany. A former Chaplain and Fellow of Brasenose College, Oxford, he also served as a parish priest in Hertfordshire and Birmingham. His first pamphlet, Hang Time, was published in 2006. A regular contributor to the TLS since 2010, for the last few years he has also been the poetry critic of the Sunday Times.
