clare e. potter

Faber & Faber anthology of 14th centuries of British verse. Includes my translation of Ifor ap Glyn's poem 'Elevation'

My poem in Poetry Wales, "If I Could Write a Poem the Way My Boy Turned a Corner" describes the hair raising moment my little boy went down a hill on his scooter. He trusted himself, the scooter and was unafraid of the bend.

Curated by poet Helen Calcutt, the anthology features a host of male and female voices sharing their experiences of suicide, mental health, or grief – from those who have been on the brink of suicide, to those who have lost a loved one, or been moved more generally by the campaign.

A debut poetry collection from Clare E. Potter which is assertive, sensuous and evocative; also infused with dry humour.

Casgliad cyntaf o gerddi gan Clare E. Potter. Mae’r deunydd yn feiddgar, teimladol ac yn ennyn ymateb; ceir hiwmor sych drwyddo.

“…These poems are hard-edged with realism but they are bound together with an imagery that is evocative and, on the surface at least, deceptively simple. The writer’s voice… leaves you gasping at the quality of the word-pictures… Above all

Pleased to have my poem ‘Self-Soothing’ in this beautiful anthology of essays, poems and interviews on how motherhood impacts a creative life negatively and/or positively. I’ve long admired the writing of editor Carolyn Jess-Cooke and many of the contributors, which include Sharon Olds, Hollie Mcnish, Carole Ann Duffy, Tess Gallagher and Rhian Edwards
