invite you to a very special joint launch

Tom Kelly’s History Talks is his stunning new poetry collection. It’s his fifth collection and fourth published by Red Squirrel Press.
In History Talks he looks at the past and present in the North East, from William Jobling, the last man gibbeted in the north; Mary Ann Cotton, the nineteenth century murderer; his late father; Geordie, an Everyman, who first appeared in Dreamers In a Cold Climate and others trying to make sense of their lives today. Once again “Kelly is preoccupied with place and loss.”
