An anthology of poetry by Quakers, the first published in Britain since 1896, has just been released. A speaking silence: Quaker poets of today, edited by RV Bailey and Stevie Krayer, was launched with an event at the Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre. They said: ‘We did not set out to create a volume of “sacred verse” – Quakerism and poetry both seek the holy in the everyday.’
