Please join me in congratulating Allan Gaw on the launch of his poetry pamphlet Love & Other Diseases published by Seahorse Publications
Love & Other Diseases
Love & Other Diseases, Allan Gaw’s debut poetry collection, was launched by Seahorse Publications this week. The book has been hailed as ‘a triumph, pushing the boundaries of form and content all the way out’ (Julie McNeill), and its author has been described as ‘a fresh voice in contemporary verse exploring with crafted perception and emotion the connections between self and the things of the world around him’ (Jim Mackintosh).
The collection of 50 poems range from subtle poems of love and loss through to eerie personifications of the diseases that have ravaged humankind.
