Full Stops in Winter Branches
In this, her fifth collection, Char March searches for hidden nests of humanity within the cold, bare branches of politics, and gives a voice to the voiceless (both human and otherwise). She expertly immerses us in the landscapes and soundscapes of her twin homes of Scotland and Yorkshire - and, whether visiting the depths of Leeds' sewers or tasting the Hebrides sea, never strays far from the sharp humour and eye for detail that her readers have come to expect. This is poetry at its very best, highly-involved writing that seems effortless; a feast of fantastic literature to warm your soul, whatever the season. "Char March has a keen eye for detail. Full Stops in Winter Branches is alive with poems that capture moments of life's imperfection and moments of rare beauty. March attends to the world fully, noticing how a dog finds that land 'glitters with smells', how 'white ground is hedge-squared' to a bird. She is equally adept at praise poems and lamentations. Like the Ardnamurchan dragonfly of one poem, her project is nothing less than capturing the impossible, netting the 'colour of energy'." Helen Mort
The Cloud Appreciation Society's Day Out
This collection is a celebration of Char s love/hate relationship with the moors they can be awe-inspiring, tranquil, full of fabulous birdsong and wildlife... and they can be downright terrifying especially in the grim weather that they love to generate. The Cloud Appreciation Society s Day Out fizzes with the fabulous palette of people, birds, colours, textures, sounds, and emotions that the moors evoke.
The Thousand Natural Shocks
This is a powerful exploration of the knocks and shocks that life can throw at you and the writing has a delightfully wicked vein of wit running through it. Char March is an award-winning poet and playwright who, as a disabled woman herself, delights in creating a huge range of characters getting into, and out of, trouble in this collection. Her poems are vivid and moving, and they speak to the core of what it is to be human today. Her wry humour, wonderful use of dialect and wordplay, and her ability to see through the disguises we wear, pull us into all the different worlds and characters she creates. This is a truly engaging collection that will take you on a fabulous roller-coaster ride that you re never likely to forget. To be read and then read again
