Kerry Darbishire’s latest poetry pamphlet published by Hedgehog Press February 14th, 2026. The book is dedicated to her husband -
‘for Steve and all the years of your love’
Kathleen Jones writes:
‘It’s the question that poets have been trying to answer for centuries, the nature of that all-consuming emotion that renders ‘I love you’ inadequate. Putting it into words can be hard My mouth, writes Kerry, refused to find the right shape. These are poems reflecting on the nature of love – its passion and its cruelty, how it shapes our lives and our relationships with friends, parents, siblings, children and partners. The poems show, in vivid images, the deep connections we make, demonstrating our feelings in the everyday, ordinary things we do together. The natural world becomes the landscape of a relationship; the paths we walk with those we love, the rooms we inhabit, the objects we own, invested with the lustre of memory – images more powerful than words. A lifetime of caring for each other make ‘I love you’ somehow inadequate. Kerry has written lines you’ll remember long after you’ve read the poems.’
P&P is included in price.
