Something About Snow - New poetry collection, out now.

Prolebooks is proud to announce their release of 'Something About Snow' by Idris Caffrey.

Something About Snow is Idris Caffrey's seventh poetry collection, these 49 beautifully crafted

and balanced poems are preceded by an introduction by singer-songwriter Ralph McTell and

a foreword by eminent poet, Ruth Bidgood.

'Idris has that love of words that Dylan Thomas urged his readers to enjoy and in these beautifully
observed writings, Idris reminds us of the richness of simpler things that at the first glance can go
unnoticed or evade our grasp and so easily slip through our fingers in our worldly hurry' - Ralph
McTell.

'...haunting is a word that comes often to the mind when one thinks of these poems - the haunting

of time that passes, the winter that pauses but never quite ends, a recurring memory of something

inescapable - something about snow.' - Ruth Bidgood.

With a cover price is £5 (or £3 for a pdf version), Something About Snow is available from our website http://www.prolebooks.co.uk/page10.html

Summer editorial weekend of the 27th - what do you want to see on the agenda? (We've got Guinness covered!)

Cardiff International Poetry Comp

Brett Evans, poetry ed at Prole, almost choked on his Guinness when he discovered he'd won a prize in the Cardiff International Poetry Competition. Normal service was resumed when he realised that the prize money would only keep him in Guinness for an afternoon. http://www.literaturewales.org/cipc/i/141515
