The front cover of Hedgerow of Voices by Paul Brookes. An array of woodland wildlife illustrations by Jane Cornwell

The front cover of Hedgerow of Voices by Paul Brookes. An array of woodland wildlife illustrations by Jane Cornwell

Rear cover of the same. Reviews:

"Paul has a very special gift, his writing leaves me entranced,
moved und deeply enriched.
I could say so much more but
I want to fer it all sit with me
and filter into my dreams, He is a magician with words and ideas.” Rhona Greene, writer 

"Across the sonnet sequences featured in Hedgerow of Voices, both in their four individual groupings and in how they unfold as a totality, Paul Brookes achieves the mix of thematic coherence and abundance characteristic of the best sonnet cycles.
His poetic lens narrows in on the microcosms of the title sequence, vividly realising the natural world's alien perspectives, functions, and tremulous sense of threat, then widens, eventually encompassing a mythic and astronomical panorama in the concluding On North Star poems. In On River Dove and Old Moor, which feature a variety of approaches to sonnet form, dialect and linguistic curiosities abound. These are often startling and memorable but always purposive, never twee or sentimental.
A rich and powerful collection, inventive and original. Highly recommended." Paul Connolly, writer

Look what popped through the letterbox just now. Hedgerow of Voices, a wonderful sonnet collection, by Paul Brookes, beautifully illustrated by Jane Cornwell

Highly recommended

‘As autumn furled the
summer’s blistered sails,
fine glass of holy gold,
the bottled song of nightingales.’
