Waterfalls is a collection of the work by Lincolnshire-based poet Maggie O’Sullivan, and yet another genre-defying book from Hastings‘ Reality Street poetry press. What’s of note here is the way in which the poetry is so inherently visual, with the layout fluctuation throughout to accentuate Maggie’s words.

It’s a bit different to most of the other stuff on the market, and that’s a good thing. Worth reading!
