Pat Winslow worked for twelve years as an actor and left the theatre in 1987 to take up writing. Her poetry collections include Dreaming of Walls Repeating Themselves (Templar Poetry), Skin & Dust (Blinking Eye), The Girl in the Iron Lung (Crocus), the Fact of an Eye (Amazing Colossal) and Harvest (Jackson's Arm). Her latest collection, Unpredictable Geometry, was published by Templar in 2008. Here is a poet of keen vision, remembering and analysing the past. Her language balances on the tightrope stretching between past and future – ‘A little kindness in salt, a little bitterness/ on the tongue’. In this original and moving collection we see how this poet explores her ‘geometries’ of place and event with wit, delicacy of perception, and panache. - Penelope Shuttle A dark mischief runs through this collection of well-measured and finely- crafted poems. There is seriousness and sadness - tempered with playfulness and abandon: the surreal quality of dream, interrogating perception and the walls between things, how it might be if they were scaled or surrendered. - Linda France Winslow is a rapidly maturing poetic voice on the UK poetry scene and deals with the froth and the frith in balanced and equal measure. - Gary Boswell (Stride Magazine) Pat’s fiction has won competitions and appears in anthologies and magazines. She has a novel on the back burner and she’s working on a short story collection. Pat is currently working as a writer in residence at a prison.
