Well done to Salt for their poetry efforts over the years. Having run tall-lighthouse for 10 years, now retired, I fully understand the difficulty in actually getting people to buy poetry books. Shame there is one less press taking on new poets in the future. Good luck Chris with all the oter publishing ventures.

There’ll be a lot of deeply disappointed poets. The problem is, that there will not be a vastly greater number of deeply disappointed readers. I’m amazed that I appear to be the first to comment here. It’s quite a decision, quite a moment. It will feed into the continuing discussion and blah about what’s-to-be-done-about-poetry-publishing. But first, surely, a salute to what Salt risked and did and achieved in the past thirteen years: you changed the map, you opened things up, and you did this with style.

Thank you for your generous comment; Elaine deserves all the credit.
I didn’t know you were an archaeologist; I’m intrigued!

As I would have expected, a fascinating interview with someone I now regard as someone I want to follow as a friend, blogger and author. The insights into Christina’s prolific and fascinating blogs as well as her truly riveting books had me nodding in recognition. I wanted to be an archaeologist too interestingly enough, but didn’t quite make the grade at school to follow that path. Maybe that’s what makes Christina (and Carol too) a good detective!

This was fascinating,ladies. It is always interesting and illuminating to learn how another author works. I am currently reading In The Family, prior to reviewing it for Amazon, and I found some of Christina’s comments chimed in with my ‘reading’ of her methods! On a personal note – good to meet another Archaeologist!!
