Very good and also practically I’ve used some of what I’ve learnt in my day job…

Brian Bowyer gives us another side to his writing with this poetry collection and I for one am all for it / the way he’s managed to weave this collection is nothing short of brilliant and his word choices and descriptions are jaw dropping - I highlighted to many passages is this collection and also highlighted one what might be an epigraph for a later book of mine!

Amazing collection and I’ll be nominating it for a certain horror awards shortly! ...more
