We are delighted to welcome Michael Brown’s stunning new collection to our online store. Featuring a cluster of award winning poems, Right of Way is not only a beautifully crafted pamphlet but one that instantly connects the reader with memorable and affecting poetry.

Right of Way is a collection for our times – the poems connect with the ideas of movement/change/journey and childhood to adulthood transits. Migration, the war in Ukraine, covid and anxiety in young people feature as recurring themes in this compelling collection.

 

 

Vigil

 

 

in the last stages of dying

 

even the unconscious

 

are aware of sound –

 

 

the ministrations of air

 

tendered as song, a name

 

from childhood,

 

 

the faint voice falling

 

like leaf light, its print

 

in the spiral of the ear.

 

Vigil was shortlisted for the 2021 Bridport prize
