A collection of Nature Poetry

includes poems based on myth, folklore, and legend around trees

"Reading the poems together is like stepping into a forest where each tree has a highly individual character. Patricia M Osborne does really well to conjure up such a playful range of voices that feel different yet enhance one another, and her shifts in stanza length add brilliant disruption."

Back in 2017 as part of my MA in creative writing I was required to take up a writing residency. I chose my local Victorian park, Worth Park, in Crawley, West Sussex. As part of my remit, I researched the park's past going back to 19th September 1888 when Sir Francis Montefiore, the first and last Baronet of Worth Park, brought home his Austrian bride.

Step back to 1888 and become part of the Victorian crowd waiting at Three Bridges Station.

All proceeds received from signed copies or pdf version via my website go to Crawley Open House to help the homeless and those in need.

Opening in 1982, The Granville Legacy concludes the House of Grace trilogy with George returning to the Hall as Lord Granville, although he’ll always be George Gilmore, the coal miner’s son, at heart.

With the late Lady Granville and Lord Granville gone, the Gilmore and Granville feud ceases but as the family grows, new feuds begin with the Sanders’ and Anson families.

Have George and Grace finally found their ‘happy ever after?’

Follow George and Grace through the 80s as they struggle with tragedy and family conflict

Maureen and Patricia grew up hundreds of miles from each other in different countries of the UK but share common experiences of childhood in the fifties and sixties when ice laced the inside of bedroom windows and corporal punishment was common in schools. They survived to become brides, mothers, career women and technophobes. Sometimes joyous, sometimes painful, these poems are a conversation about love, hope and identity.

All proceeds received from limited edition copies direct from the authors go to Cancer Research UK.

Poetry Conversation as a concept is a relatively new means of interpreting poetry, where poets collaborate to respond to each other’s work within a pre-defined theme, the general idea being that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

The umbrella theme of Symbiosis interprets the natural world with a bit of a twist. Poems incorporate Geopoetics, Intellectual Nomadism, Shamanism, the Underworld, engaging, not only with each other as poets, but with Earth and the Cosmos.

Along the way Patricia and Brian touch on ancient civilisations, meditative passages, the pandemic, light amongst the darkness. Their collective journey, and imperative need to move away from the carnage of the modern world to a new physical and mental architecture, offers the opportunity to shake themselves free of inertia, building a symbiotic interdependency as soldiers of unity in a new, revived world.

Discover folklore about oak and mistletoe, and legends around lavender, white lily, amaryllis, banyan, rowan and hazel. Be surprised at how the nightingale got its sweet voice or how the devil tricked a fisherman. Be enchanted as you chase each mythical tale. Experience the myth as you turn the page.

The Oath takes the reader on an emotional rollercoaster with its captivating story set in the late Victorian era. Although heartbreaking, it is also uplifting, both of which may cause the reader to shed a tear or two.
