The title of Liz Berry’s first, multi-award-winning poetry collection, Black Country, signals her place of birth - and unsurprisingly the book was described by reviewers as a ‘sooty, soaring hymn to her native West Midlands’.

Evans explored Liz Berry’s personal landscapes in conversation at the StAnza Poetry Festival.  For more information visit https://wp.me/p2iX9Z-7qL
