Charley Barnes is the current Worcestershire Poet Laureate (2019-2020). Her work is widely published across poetry journals, and Body Talk follows Charley's first poetry pamphlet, A Z-hearted Guide to Heartache, which was published by V. Press in 2018. Alongside her poetry, Charley also writes crime fiction under the moniker C. S. Barnes (published by Bloodhound Books).

A hard look at our relationship with food, these poems are intended as a reminder to love ourselves a little easier - and to butter our crumpets generously.
