Synopsis
I married the Angel of the North (extract) I have married the Angel of the North because it is bigger than me because its roots are 100 feet in Northern soil because it is always in when I call because it is always in flight when I call because it sees the horizons the rest of us don't because in my waking dreams the imagined wush-wushing of those great boat paddle wings pushes the slowing blood through all our Northern veins "Peter Mortimer is the unsung hero of Northern literature" Newcastle Journal "His poetry is highly coloured, and is out to charm us" - Stand "...this attractively produced collection juxtaposes jollity with more substantial and enjoyably gloomy pieces. My favourite is "log", an ambitious and lovely poem about growing children and a weighty piece of flotsam that takes up residence by the fire..." - Other Poetry Peter Mortimer runs the Iron Press, and is a full-time writer of plays and poems, and of travel books. His previous books include: Broke Through Britain, featuring a penniless walk from one end of the country to another; A Rainbow in its Throat(poems); The Last of the Hunters, a documentary about North Sea fishermen. One of his stories appeared in Five Leaves' City of Crime.
