                                  Picture
                                  "Char March delights in the hidden strengths of words, her poems have a healthy toughness at their heart – the ability to surprise the reader with a candour that forces us not just to feel but also to think."
                                  Philip Gross
                                  (2009 TS Eliot Prize Winner)
                                    
                                  "This collection is wonderful:  so
                                  perfectly balanced, the emotion, the right amount of distance, the images so telling yet so lightly placed, the language so rich in so many registers, and the voices so individual – and all of them genuine."

                                  Picture
                                  This collection is the culmination of my year as Writer-in-Residence of the huge Watershed Landscape project.
                                  ”These poems brim with those non-identical twin qualities of compassion and wit. Char
                                  March presents a landscape fathomed through the prism of human experience, and
                                  human experience filtered through landscape to create moving and engaging work
                                  that leaves you wanting more.”
                                  Ian McMillan (poet and BBC Radio 4 presenter)
                                   
                                  “I have walked, cycled and talked about this landscape, but when I read these poems, I feel it.  As I sit here at my desk in London, my feet are wet, my face hammered by the wind, my eyes see clouds of sausage and mash –all around me is half Yorkshire, half  Lancashire. With this collection, wherever you are in the world, you can carry the Pennine Watershed in your pocket.”
                                  Clare Balding (BBC TV and radio presenter)

                                  Picture
                                  A powerful collection of short 'creative non-fiction' stories about our mothers - and our daughters.  Love them, or hate them - you can't (often!) get rid of them!

                                  Simon Armitage says:
                                  "Touching, wounding and humbling."

                                  Are short stories your bag?

                                  I have had loads of these published in anthologies and literary magazines.  And have just heard that I will have a collection of my own published in 2013 !! 

                                  Meanwhile, here's how to get one of my award-winning stories - it's called 'The Rabbit Intervention' and it's in the anthology entitled:
                                  The Train In The Night.
