It's All In The Blood

We come from sheep thieves and cattle rustlers... We have learnt what is proper... Streaking towards the bogland... Packed with mythology, history, and powerful women, Carol J Forrester's debut collection centres on family, ancient mythology, and womanhood in the twenty-first century. Zeus is spearfishing over Stranraer, Megera is standing her ground, and Jormungandr wants to consume everything. Exploring the complications of expectations, and how the past can shape who we are, this collection is an accumulation of thirteen years of poetry. "The poems are vivid and confidently crafted..." Helen Kay (This Lexia & Other Languages V. Press) "A bold, brutally honest and dazzling debut collection..." Deborah Edgeley (Testing The Delicates) "Gentle and reflective with an underlying poignancy..." D. Peach (The Rose Shield Tetralogy)
