Stroking Cerberus
From documented attempts to capture voices from `the Beyond', to the classic stories of mythology, to her own incredibly moving experiences of loss, these poems celebrate life on the divide, and everything in between-as forcible as they are humorous, as poignant as they are thought-provoking. SPOTLIGHT is an Arts Council England-supported collaboration between Myriad, Creative Future and New Writing South to discover, guide and support marginalised and under-represented writers. In the same series: Cora Vincent by Georgina Aboud; Memories of a Swedish Grandmother by Sarah Windebank; Summon by Elizabeth Ridout, Crumbs by Ana Tewson-Bozic and The Haunting of Strawberry Water by Tara Gould.
