The Silence Museum

This debut collection by prizewinning Merseyside poet, Clare Kirwan, includes her characteristic mix of quirky, witty and reflective poems. Always both accessible and thought-provoking, most of these poems have been published in a wide range of journals and anthologies (including Iota; The Found Poetry Review; Binnacle; Prole; Orbis; MsLexia and Poetry of the Northwest) or been placed in various national poetry competitions. The Silence Museum's themes are the unspoken aspects of our lives - difficult relationships, fragile aspirations and the dark fear that your mother may be a Bond villain. ...funny, abrasive, quirky, profound, a fine poet ... not to be missed.’ Paul Blackburn, Write Out Loud ‘...excellent, clear and polished, with just the right mix of serious poems and the bizarre.’ Gill McEvoy View Less
