148mm x 210mm. Ayako Takahashi is a scholar and translator teaching at University of Hyogo in Japan. It’s a quiet night. We have always both been very creative. Since March 2011, his writing has focused on the ecological devastation of the areas affected by the Tohoku earthquake, tsunami and the nuclear meltdown of the Fukushima Daiichi power station. The recent passing of Queen Elizabeth ll inspired Joanne to write a remarkable poem that painted an emotion that a lot of us felt. 96pp. Beginning with excerpts from those original tweets, this book follows ten years of Wago’s writing.

I received my book today. Some of the poems are accompanied by a lovely picture too from the artist Naomi Hands-Smith. This book is a wonderful tribute to Queen Elizabeth 2nd. My favourite poem is called 'Take me home'.

Joanne Boyle has a true gift, her words bring real emotions, sometimes a teary eye and sometimes a smile. If you only buy one book of poetry this year I would suggest you buy this one, and I look forward to the hardback version which I believe will be available soon. The media could not be loaded. I absolutely love it!
