Chalk Stories, by Beth Brooke

The poems celebrate the Dorset landscape and how it connects us to the past and the present. Time is a key theme in Chalk Stories, the deep time of geology and archaeology, the cycle of the seasons, events from the recent past and the time that passes as a family is raised. Beth Brooke lives in Dorset. Chalk Stories is her third collection. November 2023, 86pp, paperback, colour illustrations, £9.95, ISBN 978-1-914407-59-8
