They Who Saw The Deep
Published by Parlor Press / Free Verse Editions 2016
Edition 1st
Condition Mint
At the heart of They Who Saw The Deep is the nature of water; water as giver and taker of life, luxuriant and lethal in equal measures. From the Libyan Sea to the savage sands of Morecambe Bay to the banks of the River Lune in the north of England where the poet’s ancestors were rowed across the river in their coffins to their final resting place. The eponymous sequence of poems finds the poet in the illusory safety of her kitchen whilst the outer world grows increasingly disturbed with wars and wild weather. It is set against the backdrop of the shipping forecast and weaves the myths and legends of the ancient Mesopotamians through a litany of migrations down the ages to the present day.

Escafeld Hangings
Published by West House Books 2005
Edition 1st
Condition Mint
’Escafeld’ is the Anglo-Saxon name for Sheffield. In ‘Escafeld Hangings’ Geraldine Monk trawls through this ‘City of Eternal Construction’ concentrating mainly on the enigmatic figure of Mary Queen of Scots who was imprisoned there from 1570 until 1584. Without assuming personae ‘Escafeld Hangings’ offers a psychological mapping of political imprisonment with its implications for our own time. It also presents a Queen of Scots who escapes into the future and talks as freely of Ikea and the Robin Hood Airport as of stomachers and jesters. In the final sequence Monk views our contemporary political landscape from the seclusion of her garden shed.
’Escafeld Hangings’ includes an audio CD of a performance of ‘Mary Through the Looking Glass’ by Geraldine Monk and Ligia Roque.

Walks in a Daisy Chain
Published by Magenta 1991
Edition 1st
Condition Mint
’Here are 41 characters, lyrical grumbles, smug self-assessments, flights of soliloquial frenzy, all linked, and all individually word-carved, the quarks and neutrons of the housewife, the fine and living art of the butcher, showing us our exciting in-built gift for getting what really matters essentially wrong, not smart satires but basic fun-kits, the swank of the policeman’s helmet, the sub-editor’s stunning punning, sliding incorrigibly from one profession to another, till the final sonic link joins up.’ Bill Griffiths
