Our book for day five is the latest release from Dunlin Press, Lessons for an Apprentice Eel Catcher by Alex Toms. @languishingpoet In her debut collection of poetry, Alex Toms introduces us to a troupe of curious characters to explore themes of love, womanhood and sex. At the centre of this collection is the eel catcher, a shadowy figure who lives on the fringes of everyday experience. The eel catcher weaves willow traps, and tales of folklore and magic, evoking an East Anglia inhabited by poachers, witches and ghosts. In her poems, Toms skilfully summons the uncanny, and out of it draws a slithering sense with which we are all familiar. Here are all the snares of life, and also perhaps, a spell that could set us free. These wonderfully evocative poems are accompanied by specially commissioned individual paper-cut illustrations and bespoke photography. * * * * #eels #instapoet #writers #lovepoems #newpoet #essex #debut #essexpoetry #eastanglia #essexpoetry #instart #instapoet #indiepublishing #narrative #books #bookstagram #lovewriting #newwriting #womenspoet #papercut #folklore #folk #folklorethursday

Day 4 of the Dunlin Press showcase. In Est: Collected Reports from East Anglia, contributors including filmmaker and novelist Chris Petit, ‘Hookland’ author David Southwell, poets Wendy Mulford and Martin Newell, and a host of other writers, create a kaleidoscopic vision of an East Anglia. Est is a unique collection of prose, poetry and reportage that spans the Wash to the Thames and the Fens to the German Sea. The texts merge psychogeography, social history, personal memoir and travel writing with discourses on local fable, art, archaeology and conservation. The collection explores the salt marshes and creeks, the sand and shingle beaches, the remains of Roman and Anglo-Saxon dwellings, the giant skies, interior geographies and, perhaps most of all, human histories, to paint an enigmatic picture of East Anglia today – while referencing more than 260 places in the region. * * * * * #eastanglia #essexpoetry #instart #indiepublishing #bookstagram #newwriting #books #narrative #lovepoems #suffolk #norfolk #blackshuck #essex #lookeast #essays #psychogeography #memoir #poetrycollection #prose #blackwater

Day three, Dunlin Press book showcase, today we present The Orphaned Spaces. The Orphaned Spaces is an illustrated exploration of overlooked areas of natural beauty – edgelands, ex-industrial, derelict and brownfield sites, and the sometimes rare flora and fauna that is found there. More than a nature book, it is a rumination on life, loss and time, through the prism of liminal spaces captured in moments between dilapidation and regeneration. The book is the culmination of a multi-discipline collaboration by poet @mwbewick and artist @ellajohnstonart * * * *#thewastegroundproject #wastegroundproject #wasteground #orphanedspaces #theorphanedspaces #edgelands #brownfield #urbex #naturewriting #landscapephotography #newproject #pioneerplants #newwriting #artbook #illustration #natureillustration #writingplace #liminalspaces #industrial #flowerpressings #wild #indiebooks #indiepublishing #comingsoon #handstitchedbook #wildflowers #rewilding #botanical #pressedplants #naturebook

Day two of our Dunlin Press book showcase. Today is Priced Out by artist @tinseledwards Priced Out is a personal and powerful look at the declining state of housing in the capital through the eyes of an artist. A first-hand account of the London housing crisis, Tinsel traces the high rises in cost of rented accommodation, the spiralling property prices, and skewers the reasons why artists, who contribute – like so many others – so much to the character, wellbeing and uniqueness of London life, are being priced out of the city. Praise for Priced Out ‘Tinsel has written a valuable social document… Priced Out reads like a dispatch from a war zone. Which, in a way, it is.” Martin Newell, East Anglian Daily Times * * * * #pricedout #housing #books #tinseledwardsart #artistbook #artistaccount #londonhousing #housingcrisis #homesforartists #weneedgoodhomes #newbook #newwriting #londonhomes #homesforpeople #artistlife #contemporaryart #londonlife #genrifcation
