Remembering Linda


I'm looking forward to a tribute to Linda Chase at the Manchester Literature Festival in October. Her poems old and new will be read by a selection of poets, and her final collection - Not Many Love Poems - will be launched.
I'm glad the Guardian are featuring her for this week's Saturday poem.

  1. I hate to admit it but I was not familiar with her poetry. That one in the the Guardian you linked to is wonderful and leaves me wanting to read more.

  2. I'm glad you enjoyed it Dominic, she writes with great freshness, feeling and openness that I find really inspiring. Her other two collections are The Wedding Spy and Extended Family and I'd recommend them both.
