Title: New publication from Ignite Books!
Post by: Ignitebooks on October 10, 2012, 09:56:30 AM
Our latest book, the third volume of poems from poet Steve Pottinger, is on sale now!

Entitled 'Island Songs', it's brimful of pieces dissecting hypocrisy, raging against the nationʼs somnolent slide into seemingly endless war, asking us to stand in the shoes of the vulnerable and broken, or celebrating the power of love to transform our lives and bring beauty to our world.

We'll be shipping it out from Monday 15th October, but you can order it now, here

We asked Joolz to review it. She kindly did. This is what she said:

That Steve Pottinger has a strong poetic voice is never in doubt, but that he infuses his work on the page with a warm, thoughtful sensibility may be a pleasant surprise to those who have only seen his electrifying stage performances. Beneath the easy technical ability with language, breadth of life experience, charm and humour, is a compassionate and observant writer fully engaged in the human struggle. Steve's poetry is a valuable thing and something you'll want to return to again and again.
