Poetry | Ten Poems from the Peak District, selected and introduced by Katherine Towers. We love the Peak District, with it's moors, mountains, edges and beauty, and it's reservoirs, tunnels and trains. This selection celebrates England's first National Park, the place of the Kinder Trespass, when ordinary people demanded the right to roam on the moors. I particularly love Warda Yassin's "Eid at Ladybower", remembering family days out.

Ten Poems from the Peak District contains a celebration of the very particular Derbyshire tradition of well dressing, alongside poems that take us up onto the high moors and down into the tunnels under Ladybower Reservoir via iron age forts and Dovedale’s “blue river”. At an iconic Dark Peak landmark, we encounter a raw landscape whose drama tricks the mind into altered perceptions as sheep look like stones and stones like sheep.

Poems selected and introduced by Katharine Towers who lives in the White Peak.

Poems by Rob Hindle, Helen Mort, Alistair Noon, Mark Pajak, Peter Riley, Anna Seward, Katharine Towers, Tony Williams, River Wolton and Warda Yassin.

Ten Poems from the Lake District offers dry-stone walls, sublime heights, lakes (of course) and the experience of an evening dip in the cooling waters of a tarn. The selection wouldn’t be complete without a poem by Wordsworth who captures the tranquillity of a quiet valley in a moment of typically blissful contemplation. The double-edged sword of tourism is also present in a sonnet which imagines what this most famous of Lakes Poets would make of the world of postcards and car parks.

Poems selected and introduced by Polly Atkin, a poet who lives and works in the Lake District.

Poems by Polly Atkin, Rachael Bates, Paul Farley, Katie Hale, Matthew Hollis, Eileen Pun, Tom Rawling, Reshma Ruia, William Wordsworth and David Wright.

Stay cool for cats this summer with our new second edition of Ten Poems about Cats!

Cats have provided writers and artists with inspiration for as long as they have been winding themselves purring round their owners’ legs and fixing them with their big, green eyes.

The poems in this beautifully updated edition of our much-loved pamphlet introduce us to some wonderful cats and their amusing and endearing ways. We encounter a cat asking to be let in at the kitchen door… then out again… and a kitten that seems to believe it’s a scarf, taking up residence around the poet’s neck:

“Its purrbox is impressive,
as it curls around my chest;
little toe-beans flexing,
as it makes my neck its nest.”

from ‘Wilful Accessory’ by Lauren K Nixon

It goes without saying that this pamphlet is best enjoyed with a cat on your lap.

Poems by Charles Baudelaire, William Brighty Rands, William Cowper, Emily Dickinson, Jen Hadfield, Grace Nichols, Lauren K Nixon, Algernon Charles Swinburne, Anna Wigley and WB Yeats.
