Loggerheads
NOW AVAILABLE!
“Is it better to be at odds with the world, or with one’s self?” (Karen Pierce Gonzalez)
“Moments that feel as universal as they do personal… these poems let in the light, always. More than this: they both admit and submit to love’s healing.” (Mark Anthony Owen)
In her new chapbook Loggerheads, published by The Broken Spine, Lucy Heuschen writes poignantly about a life lived in fierce determination to follow her own path. From childhood in 1980s London to the challenges of career and motherhood, the heartbreak of relationships and serious illness, we follow a roadmap created by difficult choices. Yet a spirit of hopefulness, the search for love and acceptance, are never far from the surface in these poems which Julie Stevens calls “emotionally charged” and “exquisite”.

Signed copies in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support are available here.
“A brave and slant testament to surviving breast cancer, written by a poet who never fails to keep her readers close... An astonishing pamphlet.”

“A beautifully drawn journey of sorrow, bravery, healing and acceptance which also touches on the impact of such a diagnosis on family and loved ones.”
“This is quite a gift, to bring us inside [the poem] instead of reading it. ”
