We Wear The Crown

The debut pamphlet from the founder of The Rainbow Poems, Lucy Heuschen, was published in August 2022 by the Hedgehog Poetry Press.

Dealing with Lucy’s breast cancer diagnosis and the aftermath, We Wear The Crown is a collection which Anna Saunders calls “a masterclass in finding the light in the dark and transmuting the sorrows and struggle of life into powerful and dazzling poetry.”

Signed copies in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support are available here.

Praise for Lucy Heuschen

Fresh and exciting ... A rising star
— Anna Saunders - Director, Cheltenham Poetry Festival
A poet in command of the English language
— Ian Henery, first Poet Laureate of Walsall
Perfect pause, this poem, in such a small space, calls to the body. Breathe, eyes out, mind open, shoulders soft. This is quite a gift, to bring us inside it instead of reading it.
— Ankh Spice (writing about the poem Petersberg, published in Green Ink Poetry Press)
Powerful and stunning. Poems full of things that need to be said and understood.
— Ann van der Giessen
