Naming Bones

Naming Bones, published by ignitionpress in 2019, is a pamphlet full of hearts, tongues and bones. It explores love for a child, for a husband, for the landscapes of childhood and memory.

The collection was chosen by Poetry Book Society Pamphlet Selector A.B. Jackson as one of his three ‘other favourites’ for Winter 2019, and by Poetry Wales as one of its 44 Poetry Books of the Year.

“An impressive twenty poems. Ingham’s language is so striking and exact that it feels four-dimensional. … Each poem in this pamphlet is equally precise and masterfully draws us in layer by layer, the rich and ordinary details bringing us to wider and surprising truths.” – clare e. potter in Poetry Wales

“This collection, full of strong, clear, vivid poems, positively bulges with love. And it explores our difficulty containing it … the too-muchness of things. … She writes exquisitely of nature, including our place in it, and physical love.” – Charlotte Gann in Sphinx Review
