After Rain

"After Rain" (June 2008) is Charlotte Ansell's long-awaited follow up to the fantastic debut, "You Were For The Poem", which opened the world of Charlotte's direct, emotive poetry to new audiences. After the release of "You Were For The Poem", Charlotte featured at major festivals including Spit-Lit, Redbridge Literature Festival, Refugee Sanctuary Festival, Cheltenham Literature Festival and LIFT Festival, but she also managed to become mother of two delightful children while chronicling the world from the Dutch barge on which she lives. "After Rain" reveals Charlotte's raw, perceptive eye tempered by age and experience, embracing misfortune, but recognising the need to celebrate after rain.
