A new collection that surprises, delights and unsettles from an award-winning poet.

The latest collection from Forward Anthology Poet, Kathy Miles, twice winner of the One Voice Monologue Competition and recently winner of the Bridport Prize, Gardening With Deer sees Kathy Miles continuing to surprise, delight and unsettle. Weaving together life and myth, light and dark, the poems are vivid and visceral, but never showy. The language is honed, beautifully controlled, exquisitely crafted so that the images resonate long after reading. Kathy Miles is a poet with a unique voice. Her poems are dense and subtle but always accessible. Whatever the subject of the poem you can be sure that Kathy Miles will come at it from a totally original angle. There is almost always an intake of surprise. Many of her poems reveal something dark and elusive at their heart: She is particularly good at hinting at an unsettling undercurrent in relationships. Anne Grimes These poems tug at the heart and reverberate as they soar and dive into our psyche. And, as Miles rightly proclaims, 'sometimes we get what we wish for' - poems sharply-observed which makes us linger long at her poetic table. Menna Elfyn -- Publisher: Cinnamon Press
