Red Lipstick & Revelations

Red Lipstick & Revelations includes international prize-winning and commended poetry. The poems take you on an unexpected and winding journey: from the African night air to Montreal, the road to Strathclyde or the Stranraer ferry, shipwrecked, silver surfing or dressed to kill, we encounter love, loss, lamentation, laughter - and lipstick.

Published by Indigo Dreams Publishing (Most Innovative Publisher/Saboteur Awards 2017).

On Silver Surfing : 'A lovely poem, with a beautifully confident voice, starting in medias res as Shakespeare sometimes does too, and a vivid, beautifully contemporary take on the universal feeling addressed by Shakespeare's Sonnet 30. Lively, alert, convincing language.' - Ruth Padel
