"Poems From The Plucking Shed"

Last week Chester poet Gill McEvoy launched her new collection. It's called " The Plucking Shed" and it's published by Cinnamon Press.

I couldn't make the launch ( at Alexanders, where Gill and friends regularly hold their Zest! Open Mic evenings) but I called round at Gill's one evening for a cuppa, a chat and a copy of her book.

Some of her poems I knew already: from sessions at Zest!...and also from our Words/Biscuits afternoons, where Gill is one of our original Biscuits!

Her poems are crafted beautifully. Gill is a wonderful observer of detail, of memory...of the natural world, of the whole gamut of human feelings...

This is a very special collection.
