GRAFFITI BOOKS
In March 2023 Graffiti Books published a new volume of poetry by the Stroud-based poet Frances March. Looking Out, Looking In is a life story in beautifully crafted verse and is generously illustrated with colour photographs taken by Frances' musician husband Geoff.
This new volume was launched very successfully at the New Bohemians regular writers' event in early March this year (2023). Frances read her works eloquently, and Geoff helped to provide enchanting musical interludes. See our Books page for more information.
In July this year (2023) Kim Taplin's new collection Ebb & Flow was very successfully launched at the Malvern Book Co-op. This was a Graffiti Books led event, specifically raising money for the Malvern Book Co-op's Outreach charity, which provides books and literacy assistance to disadvantaged groups in the local community. Derek Healy also read from his most recent Graffiti Books published collection Uncharted (2022). All proceeds from sale of both books were donated to the Outreach charity.
In May of this year (2025) Graffiti Books was pleased to welcome two new poets to its stable, namely Elizabth Horrocks and Robin Gilbert. Both have been writing successfully for many years. “Legends and Literature” is Elizabeth’s debut collection, whilst “The Urgency of Snails” is Robin’s third (two previous collections having been self-published).
