Hear Me Crack and Melt by Lytisha Tunbridge is a collection of narrative based love poems. Available for £8 plus £1.15 P&P here.

“Like an archaeologist uncovering fragments of treasure, or
a prospector discovering tiny gold nuggets, Lytisha reveals
the poetry within precious moments that might otherwise go
unnoticed, the meaningfulness of small gestures, the
tenderness of longing, the generosity of love. She brings
them all to the surface where they can shine and we can
recognise pieces of our own experience”
Chloë Jacquet

“She’s funny, thought provoking and really moving. Expect
to feel all of the emotions, and to come away smiling at the
end“ Pixie Styx

“Lytisha has a big heart and her new work beats strong,
with joyous leaps, invitations to dance and late-blooming
gladioli. The title poem’s refrain of “ Come close, hold me
with your warm hands, hear me crack and melt” tells you
much about the delicate pleasures and the pain within this
pamphlet.” Gail Webb
