I’m over-the-moon delighted that 5 Islands Press has selected my new manuscript titled “The Rub of Urban Life” for publication in 2026/2027.
“The Rub of Urban Life” is a collection of my poetry, poetic prose, and candid black & white street photographs. A blend of words and images.
A big thank you and much gratitude to publishers, Mark Tredinnick and Steve Meyrick.

Congratulations Libby, very well done!

Thank you so much, Peter. It still feels like a dream. I can hardly believe it. As you know, it’s so tough finding a publisher, especially a poetry publisher. I’m so grateful.
