REVIEW
I am pleased with the review in February's Cumbria magazine of Gill Nicholson's poetry collection Naming Dusk in Dead Languages. It is quite short but I sense the reviewer really has read all the poems and this is a genuine response. Here it is.. and you might like to know that the next Poem and A Pint will be at Greenodd Village Hall on April 10th. The guest poet is Emma Jones, currently poet in residence at the Wordsworth Trust.
'There is an uncomfortable edge in Gill's words about the passing of time, nature and relationships that sets you thinking about your own life situations. That's the mark of good poetry which, I gather, is enjoying something of a renaissance in Cumbria. It's not easy reading but you won't fail to be stimulated - maybe into going along to one of this poet's regular 'A Poem and A Pint' sessions.'
