Geordieland - Elizabeth Jardine The follow-up volume to 'Simply: Poetry', 'Geordieland is, as its title implies, an homage to the North East of England. It is an area that is really quite small, yet has had an influence across the country - and much, much further afield - that belies its size and modest population. It is this rich heritage upon which Elizabeth Jardine has called to create a volume of poetry which gives a real insight into a very special part of the world and its equally special people. As with 'Simply: Poetry', the verses included are accessible in the extreme as the author has made something of a specialism of acessible poetry. It is a joy to read from beginning to end.

Simply: Poetry - Elizabeth Jardine Poetry can be eloquent, it can say things more elegantly than prose; it can also be difficult to read and understand. Elizabeth Jardine, though, proves in this collection of poems - and in its follow-up, 'Geordieland' - that it needn't be hard at all. In fact, reading poetry can be fun: 'Modesty' is the perfect example. Even when she's being rather more serious, Elizabeth still makes her work accessible and easy to read - 'Asylum' might not be the easiest subject to deal with, yet it is a poem that is at the same time moving and somehow friendly. If you've never considered poetry as an alternative form to prose, there is no better place to start than right here! (about 3,000 words) Price: £2.00 Quantity:
