Selkie Singing at the Passing Place

Sarah Miller,Melanie Rees

Melanie and Sarah met when they shared a big white house on an island next to a passing place. They waded out, sang selkie songs to a seal they named Sir Douglas, shared stories, poems, wine and secrets, and decided to create something together. This is their potent and poetic debut collection. Includes a Foreword by Gerry Potter.

This is a collection to enjoy slowly, piece by piece, like the very finest chocolates - and then, because it’s better than chocolates, to enjoy and appreciate again and again. - Cathy Bryant, poet & editor of Best of Manchester Poets

Rees and Miller depict our awkward, impossible world using believable voices that complement each other, summoning up lovers, relatives and totemic birds to capture the idiocy / wonder / terror of life. - copland smith, poet

Love and joy are the predominant emotions: these are positive poems with their feet planted on the ground and their heads in the air. - Steven Waling, poet & reviewer

From Sydney to Scotland via Salford and Barrow-in-Furness, Melanie and Sarah transport the reader to strange yet recognisable worlds. - Rosie Garland, poet, novelist & March Violet
