Launching this week: Inroads by Carolyn Jess-Cooke
This week sees the launch of a prodigious new talent on the poetry scene. Inroads is the debut collection from Carolyn Jess-Cooke, a Northern Irish poet now based in North East England who has already received many awards and widespread recognition for her work.
Published by Seren, and launching at Newcastle's City Library this Thursday, Inroads is a sophisticated mix of modernised myth and legend, playful experiment and multi-faceted insight into modern life and young motherhood.
It has been described by Carol Rumens as "a sparkling variety-act, choreographed with a strong but daring sense of form... Jess-Cooke is a poet who revels in the magical pleasure of language, and readers will enjoy sharing it with her."
