Emma Purshouse, Iris Rhodes, Marion Cockin

The richness and diversity of Black Country poetry is exemplified by these three Midlands lasses, whose joint collection has recently been published by Offa’s Press.

Each of the ‘Nailmakers’ Daughters’ has a very different voice, but all three are firmly grounded in the industrial landscape and domestic traditions of the neighbouring Black Country.

Introduced by their editor, Jane Seabourne.
