The Poems of Geraldine Murfin-Shaw (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781326013646)

Geraldine is a Yorkshire poet who has lived in Lancashire since 1982. She is a mother and grandmother who had a varied career as librarian, secretary and Head Chef. She has written ten books so far, including two cookbooks. Writing and poetry come naturally to her, but she is also interested in gardening, cooking, astrology, dreams, tarot, shamanic spirituality, African drumming and her current dog, Lola. She was a performance poet around Manchester in the '80s; famous for fifteen minutes in 1985 for reading naked poetry in a jacuzzi. She also appeared as a standup comic and karaoke singer. Her poetry has a raw, earthy quality. She does not mince her words. She has moved audiences to tears and laughter in equal measure. She is not for the faint-hearted, the squeamish or those of a ladylike disposition.
