Echoes of August - The End of Summer II

 

The season ends. The story continues.

Celebrating the 10th year anniversary of his second full length poetry collection, Andy N has returned to this series of poetry with a brand new collection called ‘Echoes of August (The End of Summer II).
Told again in taut, flickering fragments, these pieces map the fading edges of summer through memory and dying lights, geographic imprints and love, loss, and abolescence to be read over and over in the wind.
'The End of Summer II' as well as being a direct sequel to ‘The End of Summer’ deepens the emotional arc begun in the first volume, leaving readers adrift in beauty, haunted by nostalgia, and quietly changed.
For fans of Epic 45 and July Skies, Hugo Williams, and the delicate melancholy of watching a gate blow gently in the breeze of late August.

Out on Amazon with more places to follow. 

Martin CM - Spoken Label (New Podcast, August 2025)

 

Latest up from Spoken Label (Spoken Word Podcast) features making his debut is the wonderful Martin CM.

Martin tells his work are "are written to make people smile—or better yet, laugh. They’re intentionally different from the well-meaning, earnest, intense, political kind. His work leans towards the disrespectful: often irreverent, occasionally rude, and usually self-deprecating.

These are poems with little in the way of hidden meanings — written to be performed, not puzzled over. That said, they do often carry a thread of social commentary.Martin has performed across various venues in the North West. A career highlight? Making the Top Four at the Liverpool Fringe—something he proudly (and constantly) reminds his family of.

His book Poems for People Who Don’t Like Poetry is available on Amazon—and has sold dozens!
