Angela Topping is the author of seven previous collections and four pamphlets of poetry. Her work is regularly featured on Poetry Please. In 2013, she was writer in residence at Gladstone’s Library. She has read at a range of festivals and other venues. Her poems have won prizes and been set on the ‘A’ level syllabus.

 

‘Angela Topping’s poems capture the magic of real life with a powerful precision, brilliant imagery, and a clear, spoken, enlivening voice. Her poetry is also open to the darkness and pain in our lives without yielding one ounce of her generosity of vision or spirit. In such ways is Angela Topping a natural successor to Ursula Fanthorpe and, like Fanthorpe, deserves a wider readership beyond the traditional audience for poetry. I am delighted to recommend this welcome collection.’ —David Morley
