Our poet of the month is Frank McMahon, who imagines mid-winter life in pre-Christian times in “Winter Bleak”.
Frank has been widely published, including two collected volumes of work, “At the Storm’s Edge” and “ A Different Land”, both produced by Palewell Press. Last year he won the GWN Poetry Prize, and this year, read at both the Cheltenham Poetry and Literature Festivals.
He’s also helping promote the Poetry Together Initiative, which brings children and older people together to share the pleasure of poetry. He’s one of the founding members of the monthly Writers in the Library sessions.
His third collection of poems, “The Light Will Always Return”, is being published by Tim Saunders Publishers in April 2024.
