Bamako to Timbukto - Paintings and Poems

Annette Chevalier and Pauline Plummer

"The reader feels the full force of the poet's experience. At the same time, though, the poems here are clear-eyed, always looking closely at and into this extraordinary world. Full of colour and rich with incident, theses lyrical and vividly descriptive poems are compelling, moving, and (rare in poetry) actually exciting."

Peter Sansom

£5.00

Palaver - Paintings and Poems about Sierra Leone

Annette Chevalier and Pauline Plummer

"These poems celebrate an encounter coloured always by the complexities of the colonial past, the post-colonial present. In them the traditional forms of English poetry, their joints loosened with a little palm wine, put on the bright singing cloths of Sierra Leone, pick up 'the raw pulse of wave and sand' and dance."

Gillian Allnutt

"Palaver is a vivid, sensuous, compassionate and intelligent collection - each person has an emotional and moral centre, nicely judged, not presuming too much intimacy."
