Poet Town: The Poetry of Hastings & Thereabouts, Deluxe Photo Edition

"A love letter to Hastings: these poems hit you in the eye like an arrow. At turns funny, melancholy and celebratory - there's all of life between these pages" Luke Wright Hastings is a seaside resort with an illustrious poetic history. Once a haven for Pre-Raphaelite poets and Victorian authors, it is still a hub of creativity today. A home to artists, musicians, and renowned contemporary writers. Edited by Richard Newham-Sullivan and with a foreword by Salena Godden, this collection, Poet Town: The Poetry of Hastings & Thereabouts, brings together the best classic, modern and spoken word poets linked to this uniquely creative coastal town. Stunningly presented in luscious, ultra-premium quality print, this Deluxe Photo Edition presents over 20 portraits of the poets set in beloved beauty spots around Hastings "With its pockets of wilderness, multi-layered history and vivid character, this project has been both a love letter to Hastings and an exploration - of how these special places hold and inspire us and how they can become part of us."
