New Title

This is a book about Alice

...and about dance, gerbils, beetles, ponytails, wolves, seagulls, twilight, Galileo, feathers, tarts, butterflies, roses, cornstalks, tracksuits, earwigs, eyes, cakes, tax, freedom, graffiti, ash, stew, velour, hindquarters, ink, a scorpion, Pan, a cemetery, fish, rabbits, guns, violets and oranges... in short, it’s an anthology of the very best poetry and flash fiction Earlyworks Press received in 2012, which means it’s a book about just about everything. It’s funny, clever, sad, sentimental, ruthless... keep turning the pages. There’s no end to the adjectives you could use - until of course, you meet the Very Good Point at the end.

Sky Breakers

More Poetry and Flash Fiction

from Earlyworks Press

Do you know why the sky is blue? 
                                                               Really know? 

Within these pages you will dream of peacocks and learn what happens when barnacles march across rocks, then pause for breath as the sea gathers the next breaker. But be sure to watch out for the angels - angels of the dung, grotesques, gargoyles, ‘step on a crack, break your mother’s back’ - and welcome the gentler kind; clouded yellow butterflies and girls with pony tails.

Poetry & Flash Fiction

from Earlyworks Press

Following the success of 'Misfit Mirror', Earlyworks Press has produced a second collection of poetry and flash fiction, giving this year's competition winners an opportunity to provide a wider sample of their work. Includes collections of poems by R J Hansford, Sylvia Oldroyd, Nigel Humphreys and Steve Mann.

Misfit Mirror

"When is a castle wall a reflection and when is it solid stone? Can a mirror offer a true reflection? .... Art, poetry, micro-fiction and short story combine to confuse, amaze and delight in this distinctively different anthology." 

    - Catherine Edmunds: artist, poet and story-teller.

   Roadie                       Greyscale

Terry Sorby

If you don’t know what it’s like to grow old, read this book and find out. If you do, read this book and yell, “YEAH!”

If you don’t know what it’s like to work with the disadvantaged, the abused and the lost, to take on the pain and the despair of the many and come up smiling, then try the extraordinary, bubbling pot of grief, giggles and philosophy this collection hurls at the reader Or if you've read Greyscale, and you think you can take more, try 'Roadie & Co'.

Extracts & Reviews

Earlyworks Press is off to a good start with their first anthology – an intriguing title, and some excellent and varied poems from such well-known names as Roger Elkin. - Carole Baldock, Editor of Orbis.

 Not a single bland, run-of-the-mill poem in the mix.

Extracts & Reviews

In this collection, ideas about how we relate to animals, to landscape and to each other, and some wonderfully observed portraits of the natural world, are set against the sometimes extraordinary efforts of human beings to live within the complex, technological world we have made for ourselves.
