Quay Sonnets. Cet article n’est pas disponible.Quay Sonnets

Urbane but unsettling, these skillful random-rhyme sonnets are Peter Bennet's first publication since moving to the low-rise village of Shepherd's Quay, overlooking the Tyne estuary.

PETER BENNET taught in schools and colleges and more latterly in adult education with the Open University and as Tutor Organiser for Northumberland with the Workers’ Educational Association. He was one of the organisers of the Morden Tower readings in the nineteen-eighties and was an editor of Other Poetry. He has published nine books and many pamphlet collections, the majority of them since he was sixty. He lived for over thirty years in a remote cottage near the Wanney Crags, in the part of Northumberland associated with the ballad-writer James Armstrong, author of Wild Hills O’Wannys. He now lives next to the Tyne in North Shields. Quay Sonnets is dedicated to the poet and composer Richard Kell, who died in 2023, a friend for forty years.
