Description

The Stonegate Devil is Carole Bromley’s second collection. The book has a strong York flavour and explores local places and the stories associated with them as well as the poet’s Yorkshire childhood, coming of age and relationships. There are poems sparked by travels to Ireland, Japan and Australia and others whose subjects are closer to home. A number explore Bromley’s experience of teaching and writing and there are also moving poems about birth and death, especially the loss of a close friend and the poet’s own mother.
