Linda Rose Parkes was born in the Channel Islands and studied literature at UEA. She runs poetry workshops in Jersey and also writes lyrics, working in collaboration with her singer-songwriter daughter, Esther Rose Parkes and with Swedish artist, Annika Fehling.
She is co-editor, with Alastair Best, of the first Channel Island anthology of poetry, ‘Wavelengths’, published by Holland House.
‘Familiars’ is her third full-length collection, following ‘The Usher’s Torch’ 2005 and ‘Night Horses’ 2010, both from Hearing Eye.
Elusive magic; the poet as Scheherazade (in the Thousand And One Nights) , one more sip, one more shadow to pass through ...
Parkes' relentless eye misses nothing, but her control is masterly. A bravely candid voice, a deft searcher under surfaces.
