Product Description
by Marie-Louise Eyres (Author)
Into A Salt Marsh Heart at first glance, appears to be a straightforward nature, or ecologically driven collection of poems, and it is to some extent. But it is also about the sudden loss of the author's father. The way she has arranged the work allows for that stark reality to dawn on you as a reader as you pass through the first few poems, and for you to experience both the sense of loss that such a sudden death brings, as well as touching on the complexities of family relationships. Before being gathered together to form this pamphlet, several of these poems have already been highly commended or short listed in poetry prizes and placed in competition anthologies, including The Gingko Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the Bridport Prize, others have appeared in literary journals including Agenda, Ink Sweat & Tears, The Broken Spine and The Poet's Republic.
