About this Event
Red Squirrel Press invites you to the Zoom launch of Linda Jackson’s poetry: The Cabinet.
‘This is my late mum’s beautiful display cabinet in the kitchen. Red Squirrel Press will publish my chapbook of poems tracing the narratives of the objects inside.’ (Linda Jackson)
The Cabinet
In these poems Linda Jackson takes an unsentimental journey through a lifetime’s mindings and findings, making a mind-map of a daughter’s steps in the wake of a spirited mother, gone but glowing still, “the angel’s share […] still there”, the well-chosen words of both women sparkling through the glass cabinet of curiosities, personal effects poetically rendered, the leaves and leavings of a life lived with an eye to the silver ship that sails beyond the hardship, determined to look back on the hardest part and laugh. This is a priceless collection that will work miracles on glass eyes. (Professor Willy Maley)
