Poetry and Pandemics

We were very sad to learn that our distributors, Central Books, who make sure that all our publications get to the bookshops, have had to close like everyone else until at least the end of April but we will continue to supply orders directly (post free, same day dispatch) from our website here until the Post Offices close or the stamps run out (but we expect neither of those things to happen).
Individual copies of our new pamphlets published on 17th March can be bought here as well as the best bargain we offer: a set of the four new pamphlets each individually signed and numbered by the author priced at £15 for the set instead of £20.

We hope that all our readers keep safe at this very difficult time.

Buy this packaged set of the 4 new pamphlets for only £15
(the other two from Elinor Wyn Reynolds and Stephen Capus are shyly hiding beneath the outer  ones!)
