| Poetry by post “I celebrate myself, sing myself,
And what I assume you assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.” From ‘Song of Myself’ by Walt Whitman. We are huge fans of the beautiful ‘instead of a card’ poetry pamphlets by the independent publishers at Candlestick Press, and carry many titles to choose from here at the gallery. In this issue, Lifeline, Heartline editors Mandy Ross and Jo Brookes choose ten poets who have given readers a glimpse of same-sex loves and lives through history. Their poems explore love in many guises – fleeting or decades-long, open or clandestine, remembered or anticipated. This title includes poems by Audre Lorde, Carol Ann Duffy, CP Cavafy, Gregory Woods, John McCullough, Kate Tempest, May Sarton, Sappho, Thom Gunn and Walt Whitman, with a brilliant cover illustration by Quyen Dinh. What could be better for your Valentine? Shop for it, and all our other titles, here or, even better, come and see us on the beach. We've got gift ideas galore for Valentine's and every other occasion. |
