Exquisitely beautiful and lyrical, Claire Walker's collection Collision uses the water and sea to frame changing relationships like the changing tide. The imagery is beautiful and evocative. Self-Fulfilling Prophecy, in particular, recalling seaside memories with my own family. Poetry can have a special power and never has that been needed more than in these troubling times of a lockdown. This wonderful pamphlet is the perfect antidote to these difficult days.
Collision appears on the Special Mention List of the Sabotage Awards 2020.
Claire co-edits Atrium poetry magazine with Holly Magill. You can find Atrium on Facebook and at their website if you fancy a regular poetry fix. Atrium has received a Special Mention in the Best Magazine category of the Sabotage Awards 2020. https://www.facebook.com/AtriumPoetry/ https://atriumpoetry.com/
