IMPRINTS

Imprints, launched on May 10, 2025, is a captivating poetry pamphlet that marks a significant milestone in the author’s literary journey. Published by Yaffle Press, this collection showcases Kay’s ability to weave personal reflection, vivid imagery, and a deep connection to place into a compact yet resonant body of work. Kay demonstrates his poetic prowess in Imprints, offering readers a fresh perspective on his multifaceted talent.

The pamphlet, contains a selection of poems that feel both intimate and universal. Drawing from his rich life experiences—spanning Lancashire, West Yorkshire, and now Cumbria—Kay crafts verses that explore themes of memory, nature, and human connection. What sets Imprints apart is Kay’s knack for grounding his poetry in the tactile and the local while inviting broader emotional resonance.

For poetry lovers and fans of my earlier works, Imprints is a must-read. It’s a testament to the power of small collections to leave lasting impressions, much like footprints on a well-trodden path. Available at and events, this pamphlet is a gem worth seeking out. Visit peterkaywordspace.co.uk to purchase Imprints and explore more of Peter Kay’s literary world –

A Very Alternative Coast to Coast

A Very Alternative Coast to Coast is a gentle and humorous story of three men approaching retirement, as they embark upon a walk of misadventure across the North of England.

With collapses, falls, getting lost, and walking in the wrong direction, it’s touch and go whether they will get there at all! Be regaled with stories from the landscape and their experiences along the way. Meet a Lithuanian flame thrower, and the bunch of Lycra-clad Geordies.

Join them on two hair-raising trips on the little white bus, hear about the ‘man mountain’ pub crawling Coast to Coasters, and meet a woman in a café, leading to a clandestine relationship. Arriving in Saltburn for a celebratory meal out to mark their achievements, little do they know what the evening has in store.
