AVAILABLE NOW

Red Lipstick & Revelations

Red Lipstick & Revelations includes international prize-winning and commended poetry. The poems take you on an unexpected and winding journey: from the African night air to Montreal, the road to Strathclyde or the Stranraer ferry. Shipwrecked, silver surfing or dressed to kill, we encounter love, loss, lamentation, laughter - and lipstick.
