| 'Jane Weir's poems are made and measured dreamcoats. They are exquisite garments which clothe and enfold us in her imagination' Simon Armitage |
| 'What blazes through this collection, hangs onto its tail, is passion coupled with a fierce intellectual commitment, not only to the individual life lived but to the mass, the crowd, often the silenced, dispossessed; her mistress is history |

| 'Jane Weir is quite simply the most exciting new poet I have read since Alice Oswald.' - Carol Ann Duffy 'These are poems to go back to time and time again. From ferrets to flirting, by way of figs, from Belfast to Venice with a detour through Wigan, Jane Weir's voice is as true as it is unerring. Phone me please Kirsty Young, I've found my Desert Island Book. - Glenn Patterson |
| Phyllis Barron (1890-1964) and Dorothy Larcher (1884-1952) met in the Brook Street Gallery shortly after the First World War, and went on to form a lifelong partnership during which they designed and made a range of superb handblock printed textiles using predominantly natural dyes. Their work was exhibited in respected Arts and Crafts Galleries including The Three Shields Gallery in Kensington Church Street, The Little Gallery run by Muriel Rose, The New Hand Workers Gallery, The Mayor Gallery and the Red Rose Gallery in Manchester. |
