Thorugh All the Spaces by Alison Chisholm


 

This month I was torn again – this time between a poetry collection and a cosy crime. I’ve come down on the side of the poetry collection because I think it might appeal to the readers of this newsletter more. Poetry is unusual for me but a connection with the poet helps here.

Alison Chisholm is a patron of the Lancashire Authors Association and I am the membership secretary. I attended and enjoyed a workshop she ran for us.

I was delighted as well to attend the launch of Alison’s Thorough All the Spaces.
Certainly these lovely poems transport you to all sorts of times and places.
Read Gretel’s point of view about her clever brother who helped them get back home… and realise that she was just as clever.
And what of the heart-felt letter to Henry VIII form is first wife?
Or the story of the feisty Rosa Parks?
And so much more.
It was a real privilege also to hear Alison reading from this inspiring book.

I hope you will enjoy the book too.
