Bold Heart

Bold Heart is Shoestring Press's tribute to John Gohorry, one of its most gifted and original authors who died unexpectedly in October 2021. It gathers a selection of his poems from titles ranging across his five-decade career and matches them with essays and reviews by fellow writers. The editor's aim has been to present the full range of John Gohorry's achievement and to draw attention to the breadth and depth of his literary preoccupations, setting them in the context of a life lived with boundless energy, enthusiasm and generosity of spirit.
