down there in the darkness behind my eyes,
and I should go inside now to my desk and my pages.

Thirty Poems by Jehane Markham
What will you find here? A number of things.
RRP £10.00 ISBN 0-9536583-6-8
Mr. Cung of Phnom Penh, 'Tailleur, Home et Dame'; the World Trade Center's 'twin towers of panic and boredom'; the sea washing its sheets; sunlight making 'a plaid of gold, wind and smoke': things brought home to the rag and bone shop of the heart and made welcome; become manageable, lovable even, without ceasing to be themselves in all their strangness and grandeur.
Gillian Allnutt.

RRP £6.00 ISBN 0-9536583 1 7
She has an unselfish gift - her subject is usually other people rather than herself, other people seen through loving eyes, other people lost and mourned with open-hearted grief. These are moving, beautiful poems.Adrian Mitchell
