Pat Winslow worked for twelve years as an actor and left the theatre in 1987 to take up writing. Her earlier 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). In 2008, Templar Poetry published her collection, Unpredictable Geometry, followed in 2012 with Kissing Bones.
 

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.
