Just what you’ve been waiting for and right on schedule is ‘Along the Iron Veins’ – a new anthology of railway poetry, containing poems by not one – but two of Write Out Loud’s favourite poets – Winston Plowes and John Coopey.

The anthology celebrates in poetry, prose and pictures, the essential role of the railways in shaping Victorian England, the England that followed, and the England we are now.

Published by Stairwell Books ‘Along the Iron Veins’ is available for £6.50 (plus £1 p&p) and you can order a copy by calling 01904 733767 or emailing yorkspokenword@yahoo.co.uk
