Well, I don’t mind telling you that after this week of constant motion, I’m plum tuckered. But not so tired that there isn’t a wee bit of lightness in my being and indeed step, when I get to tell you that you can now Pre-order your very own signed copy of the brilliant Jenna Plewes’ new collection, A Lick of Loose Threads.
The collection is officially released on the 14th of August, and as I type this the ONLY place you can pre-order is from the lady herself…

In A Lick of Loose Threads Jenna Plewes gives us a window into the lives of people who are making the best of things in difficult times. Poems celebrate the kindness of strangers, resilience and courage found in unlikely places; fragments of ordinary lives that are extraordinary and special. These are warm and lyrical poems shot through with the beauty of the natural world.
‘Attentive and observant, these sensitive poems are a mending of life’s everyday, a generous and deeply empathic pamphlet collection.’
– Jean Atkin Poet in Education & Community Projects
‘These loose threads are memorable character sketches of the small and sometimes forgotten, vividly realised through Jenna Plewes’ poetic attention. This is a wistful and thoughtful poetry, attuned to “Torn fabric, / mended [and] re-patterned” and to “the stumbling will to live”’
– Rosie Miles
