"Jen Campbell's The Hungry Ghost Festival is a magical debut. Her
charged poems of a northern childhood in South Shields and the Cleadon
Hills; of family, sex and other rites of passage are fresh and
compelling - told with a canny eye for detail and a gorgeous turn of
phrase. This is an arresting collection from a writer fully in command
of an unusual and significant voice." - Anna Woodford [author of Birdhouse, winner of The Crawshaw Prize]

ReplyDeleteHello Jen
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see that you are still going strong. I was struck by your simple and beautiful #95 from Nov 2011:
In the middle of the night,
we rewrite the world's beginnings.
Let our bed frame grow
its branches back, and
cover us with leaves.
Regards from NJ, USA

All preordered. ^_^
ReplyDeleteVery much looking forward to reading this.
This all sounds very exciting. Have popped over from the Rialto site ... I went to my first Creative Writing workshops in Cullercoats and North Shields ...
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic endorsement from Woodford! Congratulations, Jen! And god, you're young; the places you'll be when you're forty, say!!
ReplyDeleteLove the cover, too.
I'm very happy for you and that you're getting all this writing done and that all of it's going places!
xo,
Steph
