A treasure for any reader of poetry. ---(Z D Dicks, Founder\/CEO Gloucestershire Poetry Society and Gloucester Poetry Festival.)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e.Radiant and luminous poems written by a poet with a richly lyrical voice and more than a touch of Seamus Heaney in her vivid, earthy descriptions of rural life. Each poem is a little Eden or arcadia, seething with sensory detail and resonating with musicality. These are astonishing poems in which a dazzling use of imagery is fused with a masterful use of language and line break, in which every line, ever word, is breath-taking. Immensely beautiful and potent poetry, which remains connected to the real world whilst transcending above it. ---(Anna Saunders, Cheltenham Poetry Festival Founding Director.).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBailey shows a beautiful attention to detail in this writing. Her work boasts a crisp and observant voice that left me longing for the simplicity of youth, and her countryside descriptions had me itching to escape the city for a weekend of wonder and wilderness. This work has a rich taste to it, indeed. ---(Dr Charley Barnes, Worcestershire Poet Laureate 2019-2020, Managing Director - Sabotage Reviews, Visiting Lecturer - Newman University and University of Worcester)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e.I wish Bailey could have read these testimonials to her talent. From the moment I read the first poem, 'Blackberry Jam' I knew we had found a jewel. Working with her words gave me goose bumps. It is an honour to finally fix her poems in print. ---(Josephine Lay, Poet in Residence at Cheltenham Library, Creative Writing Adviser Black Eyes Publishing UK).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52336634822929,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52336635117841,"sku":"NLS9781913195014","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781913195014.jpg?v=1758163984"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-gillian-mairi-bailey.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
