Washing Lines: A Collection of Poems John Phillips Bekas - in exile inWhen Lautus published Washing Lines in 2011, they found to their delight that they were not the only people in the world who love washing lines and poetry. The book sold out quickly, hence this new revised edition which replaces some poems with new or previously undiscovered work (highlighted in the contents list). All the poems in this anthology are about laundry and washing reflecting many human emotions to do with family, relationships and memory.
