Poetry Book Society Recommendation
The poems in New Wings focus on many different kinds of beginnings. Drawn both from new poems as well as from two earlier collections, the book gives a fresh airing to the poetry of a talented writer whose work has been unavailable for many years.
Robyn Bolam's previous two collections appeared under her married name, Marion Lomax: The Peepshow Girl (1989) and Raiding the Borders (1996). Her anthology Eliza's Babes: four centuries of women's poetry in English was published by Bloodaxe in 2005.
