In recent years I’ve had the delight of being invited to illustrate books for some poets, writers and publishers. Here you can see some cover artwork and inside illustrations I created for the books “Year” by poet River Wolton, and “What The Trumpet Taught Me” by Dr. Kim Moore. Both books are published by The Poetry Business. I’m now collaborating with River Wolton on a new book which will be published by Windhorse Publications - I show some preview images of that here too.

What the Poetry Business say about “Year”:

“The intention to write a daily poem on the theme of kindness becomes a year-long meditation, honest and unflinching, as the pandemic arrives. This remarkable evocation of a unique year by former Derbyshire Poet Laureate River Wolton is illustrated throughout with beautiful water-colours by artist Emma Burleigh.”

What the Poetry Business say about “What The Trumpet Taught Me”:

“Award-winning poet Kim Moore studied music and was a trumpet teacher for several years. What the Trumpet Taught Me is a collection of vivid and immediate snapshots, from first lessons to music...”
