Book and Merch Bundle
6 years since her last collection of poetry, it was probably time that Sarah Shiels pulled her finger out and documented the passing of the seasons in her life. The result? A truthful and reflective collection of poetry, the places which inspired them and themes of love, loss and rising social issues, all with a good pinch of dark humour mixed in. It’s an honest look into the darkest parts of herself, albeit lacking in feelings of hope, but clinging on to the diminishing winds of change in the world. The book is dismal, but so is the modern world and this book sets to challenge the reader to face their own darkest self, whilst equally revelling in their own experiences. The book also contains Shiels’ artwork, photographs and general observations on society.

Out & About
A short collection of poems, art and photography by Sarah Shiels (A5).
‘Sarah deals with loneliness, wonder, these grey streets, and the universe. A top book of poems.’ Chris Speck (Author)
‘Out & About is part conversation between audience and author, part confessional; the uninvited burden of guilt when you should just be enjoying a moments respite by the sea for instance. There is talk of ‘Wading through the paving slabs’ familiar to anyone who lives surrounded by concrete, as the outside world interrupts the self, bumping into someone less fortunate, while privilege rests heavy in the palm of the hand.’ (Michelle Dee, Poet/Women Of Words)
