Synopsis

Spirograph traces the recurring patterns in life and language. The quest to in control versus the need for change. What happens when change is forced and unwelcome? What of beauty in the unremarkable? The collection is packed with stories, landscapes and musicality. The poems are illustrated with watercolour pictures by the artist Aaron Joseph Sewards, the authors son.

À propos de l'auteur

Pauline Sewards was lucky enough to attend Keele University in the 1970s an experience of freedom and intellectual camaraderie which nothing has quite lived up to since!  She has lived in a housing co-op in Brighton and  has worked as a drug and alcohol nurse in Bristol, London, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire now semi- relocated to work in North East Lincolnshire. She is the mother of two creative young adults and a grandmother but her family is hugely affected and fractured by the rules about migration. She is so shy that at as a child under the spotlights and ready for performance she literally ran off stage but since then her attitude has changed! She is never happier than when stepping up to a mike or feeling the tingle of listening to other people’s poems. For this reason she has attended many events around the country and has helped to organise a regular event in Bristol called Satellite of Love. Her first collection This is the Band was published by Hearing Eye in 2018. In 2019 she co-edited Magma74 - The Work Edition. Recent publications include a  poem featured in Messing Up the Paintwork - a tribute to Mark E Smith. published by Penguin Random House and a poem in Witches, Warriors and Workers an anthology of working class women’s poetry published by Culture Matters.
