THE WORK OF THE
BLACK CAT POETRY PRESS
A small independent press based in Kent, England. We publish anthologies and pamphlets.
NEW RELEASE
Walrussey takes a dive into the poetry of witness to these 'unusual shells'. Here are odes to the creatures of the sea, an 'ocean in miniature'. Hainsworth's poems develop our empathy for her sea creations, from the glorious cathedral of a whale to an early morning manatee. This connection to a fragile environment enables us, like the Octopus in her opening poem, to see the beauty in the fragile.
- Jessica Mookherjee, author of Notes from a Shipwreck, Nine Arches Press
