The Little Review is the pocket magazine for anyone interested in poetry. It is sold in more UK bookshops than any other magazine dedicated to poetry.

In each issue you will find pithy reviews, erudite essays, stylish comic-strips, impertinent interviews, a fiendish literary crossword and a handful of new poems.

Poetry magazines can be very dull. The Little Review is not a poetry magazine. We are a magazine – one that just happens to be entirely about poetry.

Peter studied social, political and economic geography, and later languages at The Goethe Institut in Freiburg-im-Breisgau, Germany. Having written aural histories, obituaries and magazine articles throughout his life, in 2011 he returned to writing full-time.

His first published novel, Mazzeri, about the shaman of Corsica, was published by Troubador in 2013. Subsequent works include Ontreto (Lipari, Sicily), Boarding House Reach (Norfolk), The Wind Between Two Worlds (London), The Truth in Fiction (short stories), What you Don’t Know About Me (a novella), and Constant Tides (Messina, Sicily), which has been translated into Italian. Theo’s Voice, a story of aphasia, is his latest work. Peter’s interests include listening to and researching personal histories and landscapes, believing that both our epoch and our surroundings shape us as much as our DNA.

He lives in Midhurst, West Sussex, with his wife, Carol, and is currently writing a second novel set in Lipari, Sicily.

‘Pausing with a Poem’ is the fourth and newest of my series of poetry books. It is dedicated to my dog Polly who as you can see is reading it avidly. Come and hear the beautiful story of Polly, and other poems about finding moments of magic in our everyday lives.

‘Concise, precise and life-affirming, Claire-Louise’s poems go straight to the heart of what it is to be human in a busy world.’ – review quote from Joanna Miller, celebrated author of ‘The Eights’ which is set in Oxford.

Goat Star Books is a UK-based publisher specializing in translations of poetry from and into English. It is a poetic project that is based on the idea that poets are the unrecognized legislators of the world, in the famous words of Percy Bysshe Shelley. Our vocation is to use the translation of poetry as a bridge of understanding between cultures, making known different voices from both the present and the past and both in Spain and the United Kingdom.
