Fidelity Is For Swans is the first selection of poems by the finest unknown poet of her generation.
Shänne Sands has lived and worked in Cornwall for most of her life. She studied at the Guildhall School in London penning her first poems when she was seventeen and publishing her first book when she was thirty-three.
This selection is the first volume in a planned five volume series and spans poems about love, reflecting upon religion, nature and men. Taking in the Vietnam war with Remembrance Day to the marvellous depiction of the modern day in Sounds this volume offers to the world a brilliant poetic voice.
FootSteps Press will be publishing Fidelity Is For Swans this month and further details will be posted at the web site www.footsteps.co and at Shänne Sands’ new fan page on Facebook.
We are also delighted that the book comes to the general public with the artwork of bookbinder Kevin Reilly, the design of the artists Jonathon Coundrille and Annie Ovenden and the typesetting of Jackie Pascoe.
