Heimlich's Manoeuvre

Paula Cunningham launched her Smith/Doorstop collection, Heimlich's Manoeuvre, at the recent Sheffield Poetry Festival.  She lives in Belfast, and her pamphlet A Dog called Chance was a winner in the Poetry Business Book & Pamphlet Competition.

Here's a link to her poem, "Mother's Pride", from the collection, which appeared in the online journal, Antiphon, in their special edition earlier this year.


If you're looking to buy Cunningham's book, it's available online, via the Poetry Business, or if you prefer to buy from a shop, Rhyme & Reason are happy to order individual titles, if they don't have it in stock.


The Bank Street Arts Poetry Cafe is on Wednesday 4th September, 12pm for a 12:20 start.  We'll discuss the book until about 1pm, then move on to the workshop.


In October, we're hoping Helen Mort's debut full-length collection, Division Street, a PBS recommendation, will be available.  Pretty excited about that!
