Shelling Peas with My Grandmother in the Gorgiolands Wimbush Sarah
In Shelling Peas with My Grandmother in the Gorgiolands Sarah Wimbush journeys through myth and memory with poetry rooted in Yorkshire. This highly accomplished debut collection explores what it means to belong, what it means to be on the margins. From fireside tales of Romany Gypsies and Travellers, through pit villages and the haunt of The Miners' Strike, to the subliminal of the everyday - including poems about typists, pencil sharpeners and learning to drive in a Ford Capri.
Sarah Wimbush is a Leeds poet who hails from Doncaster. This is poetry written in praise of family and community and those qualities which make us human: love, language and, most of all, resilience. She has published two pamphlets, Bloodlines (2020), winner of the Mslexia/PBS Poetry Pamphlet Competition 2019, which was also shortlisted in the Michael Marks Awards, and The Last Dinosaur in Doncaster
