Sue Burge’s ‘The Saltwater Diaries’ is a beautiful evocation of all that is special about the coast, perfectly capturing the taste of salt on the wind and the life that is often undiscovered beneath rocks, along beaches and dancing in the air. This is a stunning collection of small pebbles that together can form mountains.
Sue Burge is a poet and freelance creative writing and film studies tutor based in North Norfolk. She loves wild swimming, birdwatching and walking and spends much of her time outdoors. Sue’s first collection In the Kingdom of Shadows (Live Canon) was published in 2018 as was her debut pamphlet Lumiere (Hedgehog Poetry Press). The Saltwater Diaries is Sue’s second pamphlet with Hedgehog Poetry Press and is a celebration and exploration of all things coastal.

Selected from his three collections and various pamphlet publications, Larksong Static offers a first synopsis of Martin Malone’s work so far. From his resounding alliances of memory and geography in The Waiting Hillside, through the complicated emotional landscape and fine-art sensibilities of Cur, to the brilliantly achieved cultural memory work of his Great War sequence, The Unreturning, this selection captures a poet staking serious claim for his significance to the contemporary scene.
“Malone is a Romantic at heart, feeling the landscape, living the language, catching the drift.”
SIMON ARMITAGE
Any attempt to forge a new nature poetry in the English lyric tradition is a bold undertaking, but Malone’s sensibility and assurance make this possible. His voice is distinctive, his eye clear and sure, and his ability to change pace and direction in a poem makes his work elegant and surprising.”
MICHAEL SYMMONS ROBERTS
