Julia Darling 
Indelible Miraculous 

This collected edition commemorates the 10th anniversary of Julia Darling’s death, and includes a substantial selection of unpublished work. Jackie Kay writes: ‘The poems are funny, irreverent, moving and never sentimental. You can recognise yourself in them, recognise your family. They are warm, full of compassion; […] a shining bright light.’
