I have to admit that I’m more than a little in love with Patricia M Osborne’s writing in all of it’s varied forms, but here, when taking on a poetry conversation with the quite brilliant Maureen Cullen, the results are stunning for both of them.
‘Sherry & Sparkly’ is officially released on the 16th of December, but signed copies are already available direct from the poets, and would make a fantastic Christmas Pressie.

Maureen and Patricia grew up hundreds of miles from each other in different countries of the UK but share common experiences of childhood in the fifties and sixties when ice laced the inside of bedroom windows and corporal punishment was common in schools. They survived to become brides, mothers, career women and technophobes. Sometimes joyous, sometimes painful, these poems are a conversation about love, hope and identity.
Sherry & Sparkly is a Poetry Conversation between two fantastic poets – one you really want to listen in to.
