Churwell Poems
This is Stephen Wade's first collection of poetry and it displays strength and sensitivity in equal measure. The poet is aware of the historical pressures which make human beings act and react as they do, yet he does not lose sight of the intuitive.

D. M. Thomas and Sylvia Kantaris
News from the Front
"This is a collaborative work concerning a fictional encounter between a businessman and a Portuguese girl on holiday in London. It originated with a poem by Sylvia Kantaris based on a suggestion by D M Thomas and from that foundation, we each proceeded to explore their relationship in our own way, sending poems and drafts to one another as they were written. Each of us wrote sometimes from the point of view of the male character, sometimes of the female."
