Mournes in Motion: A Collection of Poetry and Prose from Newcastle Writers' Group

This powerful anthology is in essence a love letter to the beautiful place its writers have chosen to call home. Suffused with vitality, it reflects the wonder of the Mourne landscape across its changing seasons with a lyricism and reverence that at times invokes Celtic spirituality. Here is elemental nature as a life force, a rich source of healing, of energy, of wonder and of great joy.

Its strength as a collection is found in the different voices exploring a common theme. Diverse, inclusive, at times profound and insightful; at others rich in self-deprecating humour and local folklore. It is a remarkable, compelling debut from this gifted group and a testament to the power of words and their writers’ sense of belonging in the natural world they celebrate.
