and potent poetry, which remains connected to the real world whilst transcending above it. ---(Anna Saunders, Cheltenham Poetry Festival Founding Director.)..... Bailey shows a beautiful attention to detail in this writing. Her work boasts a crisp and observant voice that left me longing for the simplicity of youth, and her countryside descriptions had me itching to escape the city for a weekend of wonder and wilderness. This work has a rich taste to it, indeed. ---(Dr Charley Barnes, Worcestershire Poet Laureate 2019-2020, Managing Director | Sabotage Reviews, Visiting Lecturer - Newman University and University of Worcester) .....I wish Bailey could have read these testimonials to her talent. From the moment I read the first poem, 'Blackberry Jam' I knew we had found a jewel. Working with her words gave me goose bumps... It is an honour to finally fix her poems in print. ---(Josephine Lay, Poet in Residence at Cheltenham Library, Creative Writing Adviser Black Eyes Publishing UK).
