Selected Poems
PS Avalon, 2006
ISBN: 978-0-9544764-6-8, 112pp, £10.00
"Sometimes you feel like some other human being has lived for a while inside your head....An inspiring and liberating collection ... to return to, to buy, read and give as gifts to friends" (Caeia March, Review)
Astonishingly rich poetry, full of spirit and humour, these poems touch the reader at the deepest level. Rachael, a Psychosynthesis psychotherapist draws much of her inspiration from nature and her love for the Goddess, as well as from her Jewish background, and uses poetry to express different aspects of the human journey: death and loss, family, relationships and she comments with humour on the challenges of aging.

"You are an unlocker of imprisoned souls and true healer ... a great gift to our world and the generation who are seeking for spiritual consciousness ... your poems spring spontaneously from a pure well of life" (Kathleen Raine)
Britain’s foremost transformation poet, Jay Ramsay, in this exciting new collection delights us with subjects including: a Chinese sacred mountain, Ireland by bus, a beach in South Carolina, a suicide bomber, Maltese neolithic temples, Freud’s Anna O, transgender, a black dog haunting, radical amnesia, the remembering of soul, past lives, and love poems for the greater love. All the poems in this new selection from Jay move us into the present time which is truly the Out of Time realm in which poetry has always told its best tales, and the poet in us (in all of us) is here to live.

Charon's Hammer
PS Avalon, 2004
ISBN: 978-0-9544764-2-5, 108 pp, £10.00
Contemplative, inspirational poetry with a dark cutting edge. this book offers the reader an opportunity to break bread and risk a tap dance with a man so in love with the world as to permit moonlight to sleep in his ears. Arch-druid of images, Hackwood tends and suckles the ugly and the beautiful alike with a metaphysician's fractal tenderness and a mother's devoted impunity. He just might change your life!

Evoking the archetype of the original feminine, opening to the divinity in another, all in sonnets embodied with meaning, carriers of endless possibility.

The Inheritance
PS Avalon, 2011
ISBN: 978-0-9562162-5-0, 140 pp, £10.00
"William Ayot’s poetry is like the man himself: intelligent, unpretentious, accessible. There is little inconsequentiality and much passion, though the emotion is kept sensitively under control." (Paul Groves)
We all have an inheritance and many of us struggle to speak our truth. Clear, direct and accessible, these poems chart a journey from a largely unconscious and wounded victimhood to a hard-won self-awareness and acceptance. Written to be spoken, they are affirming, comforting and occasionally enlightening for people concerned with their own struggles and obsessions

Through the Gates of Matter
PS Avalon, 2003
ISBN: 978-0-9544764-1-7, 116 pp, £5.00
All the imagery and experiences in the leading poems in this collection were inspired through entering total inner silence from where other realms which are co-existent with our own everyday reality become accessible. The main poems were inspired during altered states of consciousness whilst walking at Dundon Beacon near Glastonbury, England. The final revision took place during the wait for a major surgical operation. I found the imagery in these poems both comforting and challenging in my dance with death. The remaining poems are selected from a lifetime of poetry writing.
