The Plucking Shed is an accomplished collection from a poet alive to the requirements of the spoken word as well as to the visual and the word on the page. The pieces are remarkably honed, turning the raw material of life, loss and nature into gems.
"Gill McEvoy's poetry has an eerie focus on natural phenomena.”
W.N. Herbert
"These poems are like jewels. Incalculable pressures underpin their creation. Luminous and compelling (but by no means reassuring) they offer themselves to the light."
Helena Nelson
