Beth Brooke online launch 'A Long Way Down', guest reader

Beth Brooke launched her new poetry collection 'A Long Way Down' from Dempsey & Windle publishers online this week. It was a wonderful evening with Beth delivering her work with her usual panache.

Beth's collection explores her relationship with her Father, who was in the Armed Forces, his PTSD, their continental moves with his postings and family life. Nuanced and worldly, with beautiful phrasing and precious insight, its the collection of a generous daughter.

I was pleased to be able to revisit some of my 'Dad' poems, home and inheritance in my set. It was great to hear Jude Marr read as well.

Many congratulations to Beth, link to purchase here.
