Poetry Valentine Card

Featured Poem: Sophie Hannah, ‘Poem for a Valentine Card’   

Sophie Hannah’s gloved Valentine poem honours the tradition of secrecy and anonymity that makes Valentine cards so intriguing. Sophie Hannah is a British poet and bestselling writer of crime fiction.  Her books have been translated into 39 languages.  

Devon-based illustrator Jan Brewerton has perfectly captured the teasing style of the poem.  Jan studied Fine Art at Coventry University and, after two years living and teaching in Italy, completed her post-graduate studies at Goldsmith's College, London.
