Shelling Peas with My Grandmother in the Gorgiolands

In this highly accomplished debut collection Sarah Wimbush journeys through myth and memory with poetry rooted in Yorkshire. From fireside tales of Romany Gypsies and Travellers, through pit villages and the haunt of the Miners' Strike, to the subliminal of everyday - with poems on typists, pencil sharpeners and learning to drive in a Ford Capri.
