Warning: this book contains Marmite

The poems in Winter Trees were written in the last nine months of Sylvia Plath’s life

legacies of violence and loss but - ultimately - regeneration

Knockan by Jim Carruth greek Warning: this book contains MarmiteIn remote Assynt, where the past is recreated from rock and bone, a crofter and her estranged daughter search for some common ground in their annual week together. Rooted in the landscape and history of North West Scotland, this beautifully written and heart breaking novel in verse is an original and powerful exploration of how our lived experience weighs on us, intimately told through the fracturing and repair of a mother and daughter relationship.
