… is the title of Ulverston-based poet Gill Nicholson’s first poetry collection, deservedly praised by fellow Cumbrian poet M R Peacocke, who writes:

“Gill Nicholson writes about in-between states: she is ‘a woman who embraces dusk.’ The poems slip between light and dark, youth and age, past and present, what’s felt and what’s seen, without needing to urge the reader to take the point. At its best, there is an effortlessness in the writing which is rare. When you read that ’silence condenses over the tarn’, or that snow is ‘enough to smother currant bushes’, you are there at once in the place and the moment, listening.”
