This collection is the result of Sally’s participation in the Survivors’ mentoring scheme 2006/07. The mentoring scheme links established poets with new poets (who are also survivors and/or living with, or working with survivors). Sally’s mentor is Alan Morrison: Brighton based poet, author and playwright. www.therecusant.org.uk Stained Glass is Sally Richards’ first solo collection showcasing poems that are varied in style and content, many with a survivor edge.
Sample Poems:
“…Her poetry is scored with subtle musicality, a popular lyric sensibility, most typified by her haunting refrains. Above all, Richards' poetry shares itself with us, as true poetry should. Stained Glass is a deeply rewarding debut from an unassuming but talented new voice.”
Alan Morrison, mentor

Publisher: Caradoc Publications
Paperback: 136 pages
ISBN-10: 0 9550977 0 3
Waiting for Gulliver was produced as a coffee-table book. It has full colour cover with pen and ink illustrations scattered throughout. The poems are divided into diverse sections with wide readership appeal. The authors decided to create, with this anthology, a ‘dip- into’ book of diverse styles and content in order to appeal to readers of all types of poetry, including non-poetry reader and writers.
“This extremely handsome and well-produced book…one sees at once that all of human life is here…fatalistic depression to Gothic tales…from light-hearted rhymes… to an existential denial of the value of thought…”
Kay green, Earlyworks Press
