Well, that came around quickly, but I wanted to be the first to Congratulate Jenna Plewes on the launch of her new collection today, A Lick of Loose Threads which is many kinds of wonderfilled with poetry goodness.
Not sure you believe me that it is really that good?

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
