shades of blue is an invitation to be present to life. By turns mischievous, meditative, melancholy and ecstatic, this short collection celebrates the natural world and the mixed and marvellous experience of being human. Though shades of blue features a variety of forms and moods, it is unified by the characteristic Crispin qualities of passion, precision and tenderness. Acutely sensitive to both exterior and interior landscapes, she writes vividly and with authority.

Produktbeschreibung
shades of blue is an invitation to be present to life. By turns mischievous, meditative, melancholy and ecstatic, this short collection celebrates the natural world and the mixed and marvellous experience of being human. Though shades of blue features a variety of forms and moods, it is unified by the characteristic Crispin qualities of passion, precision and tenderness. Acutely sensitive to both exterior and interior landscapes, she writes vividly and with authority. Here, as in her previous pamphlet wish you were here, Lucy Crispin honours the truth of the heart, the life of the spirit. "Lucy Crispin would make a brilliant scene-of-crime officer, because she notices everything, and understands its significance. And there'd be nothing second-hand about her report to the CID, either, for she uses language with a vigour and freshness that puts one in mind of Dylan Thomas or Gerard Manley Hopkins... Hers is a strongly individual vision, accessible, interesting, compelling." - RV Bailey
Autorenporträt
Lucy Crispin is a librettist and prize-winning poet who lives in the Lake District, England. Asked what she writes about, she mutters something vague about 'Um, well... what it's like being a person'. She's inspired by the natural world, travel, other people, and the life of the spirit; interested, too, in the way our experiences shape us. In both her poetry and non-fiction she celebrates what she calls the everyday extraordinary. An experienced person-centred therapist, Lucy facilitates poetry-based CPD for fellow therapists and charitable organisations. She's also taught creative writing in third-sector organisations, schools, and at the Swanwick Writers' Summer School. Lucy is a former Poet Laureate of South Cumbria. Her work has been widely published in print and online, and Hedgehog Press brought out her micro-pamphlet wish you were here in January 2020 (available directly from Lucy at her site below). As well as writing a weekly poetry column and facilitating monthly poetry-reading groups, Lucy performs her poetry and takes part in other events. Find out more at lucycrispin.com.
