Taste the Bright Moment: Poems from Cheshire, Shropshire and Staffordshire

’Taste the Bright Moment is an apt title for this wonderful poetry anthology that presents such bright, talented lyricists and accomplished technicians. These virtuoso poems in a range of forms draw inspiration from early memories, family settings, love, longing and laughter for the world about us and deep engagement with the earth and air of the Peak District. This is a splendid achievement and deserves to be read and enjoyed by everyone.’ John Williams, Poetry Society Representative to the Staffordshire Stanza and author of: Reading Lesson in the Lifer’s Wing (Peterloo); The Model Shop(Waterloo Press); On Lipstick Beach (Poetry Plus); Wild Ride (Wrecking Ball Press, forthcoming). ’Some of these poems wear their heart on their sleeve - others hint and suggest. In total, they add up to a vibrant, entertaining and, at times, startling collection. Isn’t that what we want from an anthology?’ John Lindley, Cheshire Poet Laureate, 2004.
