Val Kirkham is a Yorkshire poet now living in Lancashire. This is a collected edition of her life work so far. It is wide-ranging and varied. She knows a great deal about the pain and pleasure of love, and writes about it with searing honesty. She trained as a chef and has worked in a zoo, a banqueting outfit, a mediaeval castle, and an American college. In 1982 she decided to hang up her apron and devote herself to writing, saying she would go back to work when she got bored. She has not got bored yet. She was a performance poet in the 80s, in the North West. Adrian Henri once gasped at one of her poems, and the editor of Lancashire Life called her "the predatory sexual voice cruising in the fast lane of poetry". She sprang to national fame after reading poetry in a jacuzzi. She has been on radio and tv. You will be thrilled, chilled, brought to laughter and tears by this woman's perception and insight. If you are a prude or object to strong language, better pass this one by.

Downing tools in the allotment where they have toiled for the last six years, Valerie and her husband Wolfram decide to cycle to Germany to visit his mother. Before they leave, Val's guide the Aztec Priest appears among the bean rows and tells her this will be a Vision Quest - and so it turns out to be, not least due to their involvement in Channel 4's 'Real Holiday Show'. In spite of the dangers they encounter on this trip they develop an appetite for foreign parts and embark on many subsequent cycling adventures, all of which turn out more or less disastrously. Travel with them as they ride through France, Italy and their beloved Black Forest - the stoic Val shouting instructions from behind as the hapless blind Wolf does his best to avoid hitting anything. Share their horrors and delights at the larger-than-life characters they meet abroad and the comradeship of their Asian neighbours on the allotments. A heartwarming and spiritual tale of two lives inextricably intertwined - until Fate intervened.

'To listen to South Australian poet Airlie Jane Kirkham's latest collection is to listen to a musical mind at work. I greatly admire the way in which her poems evoke such delight in the life forces of nature, despite the restrictions of her own reality. Her description of the simple beauty of the natural world and the permutations of its colours, images and sounds weave vibrantly through her poems. Kirkham's language is sprightly, playful and capable of surprising the reader into a heightened appreciation of nature.' - Jules Leigh Koch, author of five poetry collections and member of Friendly Street Poets 'This book is a triumph of the human spirit. When Airlie Kirkham's promising life and career were cut short by the horrific accident that left her hospitalised for long stretches, permanently paralysed, confined to a wheelchair and in need of constant care, she might well have lost hope. Instead, like the phoenix rising, she has turned to poetry to express the feelings of the last twenty-eight years, and in thoughtful sensitive poems she has communicated with a world that must be moved by her courage and determination. As she says, "I've reached the light, my goal, my dream, of telling everyone my story." It is an inspirational story, conveyed in deeply expressive poems. She explores the natural world, which gives her great pleasure; she meditates on her ancestors, and she muses about her own life and the faith that sustains her in a book that must impress all readers.' - Valerie Volk, writer of In Due Season, Passion Play, In Search of Anna and others 'A Kaleidoscope of Paintings is a triumph of courage and creativity. Airlie shares with us her hopes and dreams, and the enjoyment found in everyday life. Imaginative and fresh images enable us to see through Airlie's eyes the beauty of flowers, birds, water, landscapes and music. Wisteria is "a long curtain of flowers, a veil of short-lived lace". Music gives delight in "the elegance of Mozart, the splendour of Mahler, the verve of Prokoviev". Airlie paints pictures from her personal journey inviting us to share her love of beauty and the joys in her life.' - Mary Taylor, Poets Corner

It's 1979 and Val is ready for a new challenge. Answering an ad in The Caterer, she gets the job of Head Chef at Brownsea Castle in Poole Harbour. Once there she has to cope with a staff of six unruly lads, all but one pushing six foot. She bonds over a curry with her boss, a blustering, red-faced ex-colonial who thinks he runs the Castle while his level-headed wife strives to keep his feet on the ground and his nose to the grindstone. Read about Tony, the gangling teenager from Liverpool who makes blue cakes for tea, Briggs the recalcitrant Scotsman with his catchphrase 'If it's burrnt they cannae say it's not kewked' and the delectable Jimmy who poses in his football shorts outside her room on hot afternoons. Coming back for the return match in 1980 Val's heart is gladdened by the arrival of a team of divers. She finds a passionate lover in the boat's engineer, whom she dubs the Red-Bearded Dwarf. A laugh, a delight from start to finish, you will enjoy the escapism of this island where anything goes.

This volume is the same as the Collected Poems of Val Kirkham (my performance name) pub. 2008 except that it has been brought up to date with the addition of poems written since that date. It is a collection of poetry written out of life experience. My career has spanned many areas - secretarial, catering, gardening, tarot, astrology and witchcraft and you will find all those flavours in here. I am honest, forthright and outspoken. My poetry is not for the fainthearted or those of a nervous disposition.

Madeleine de l’Aubespine (1546–1596), the toast of courtly and literary circles in sixteenth-century Paris, penned beautiful love poems to famous women of her day. The well-connected daughter and wife of prominent French secretaries of state, l’Aubespine was celebrated by her male peers for her erotic lyricism and scathingly original voice. Rather than adopt the conventional self-effacement that defined female poets of the time, l’Aubespine’s speakers are sexual, dominant, and defiant; and her subjects are women who are able to manipulate, rebuke, and even humiliate men. Unavailable in English until now and only recently identified from scattered and sometimes misattributed sources, l’Aubespine’s poems and literary works are presented here in Anna Klosowska’s vibrant translation. This collection, which features one of the first French lesbian sonnets as well as reproductions of l’Aubespine’s poetic translations of Ovid and Ariosto, will be heralded by students and scholars in literature, history, and women’s studies as an important addition to the Renaissance canon.
