The result is a unique publication which encompasses synergy and opposition, symmetry and dialogue. price £7.00 + p&p
Sunday Tasmanian 'Both poets have a clear-eyed accessible style of writing, with plenty of pleasure on offer from their observations. Scottish-based artists Laurie Hastings and Polly Thelwall provide delightful colour illustrations for this elegant Scottish publication' Stephen Lackaye, Edinburgh Review 126 'Rose's work is hallmarked by its colloquial turns and a grounding in dramatic scene, while Knight's is recognisable by its steadily contrived and delivered lyric, such that the poems in the collection move from a conversational to an internalised voice and back again. In the discourse between these two poet's sensibilities, the sensation of the poems moving towards each other and apart, they have produced a body of work that manages to be, somehow, greater than the sum of its parts.'
