Synopsis

An anthology drawing together previously published and new prose and poetry from across the writer's 40 year career, displaying a twin focus on mountaineering, rock climbing and outdoor adventure and on relationships across the adult life span."This collection pulses with life and energy ..." Aly Stoneman, LeftLion, 2013. Andy Miller's prose and poetry has won a range of awards and commendations. The judge for the 2011 international Yeovil Literary Prize, Daisy Goodwin, described his prize-winning poem 'Attempting to Interfere' as having "... a distinctive voice... (being) mysterious but repaying a close reading". His long out-of-print small book 'Hanging in the Balance' also attracted critical acclaim - "this brave, fragile pamphlet... is the best writing I've read in ages" (Terry Gifford, High) and "... it may already be a collector's item. For there is a breath of humanity in this book" (Ed Drummond, Mountain). 'Hanging in the Balance' is reprinted here in full.
