We are Evolve Expressions— ‘where words become power, and art becomes movement’.

We are Yvonne Murray and Charlynn Bryan – self-published poets with 6 poetry books between the two of us. Charlynne and I met through our love of poetry and became firm friends.

We have been collaborating as a business for nearly 3-years to sell our books and artwork. We have a positive outlook on life and share that sentiment with everyone who meets us. We are passionate creatives who can turn hurt (and of course joy) into art.

We believe we craft poetry that doesn’t just speak—it uplifts!

We want to create art that doesn’t just inspire but makes you think – reaffirms.

From heartfelt verses to imaginative storytelling, our six books celebrate creativity, including one specially crafted for the dreamers—the children who carry tomorrow in their hands.

Our full range of art, which comprises of paintings and photography on canvass or framed, positive affirmations on cards, book marks or framed; keyrings, magnets, knitted hats and headbands. For 2026, we now have resin and wooden coasters.

Evolve Expressions—where poetry meets possibility, and creativity sparks transformation.

WarmPorch Publishing is a very small, independent, labour of love.

In one form or another, I have been involved in publishing for almost twenty-five years, from setting up an independent music magazine (Sandman Magazine) in Sheffield to my current work at Oxford University Press.

WarmPorch was initially created to publish some extracts from my grandmother’s journals, The Search for Freeland Gardens [2009]. This small book (also now our first ebook) covered the arrival of my family, 50 years previously, to open a nursery garden in a small West Oxfordshire village.

In recent years I have been working with the sculptor Steve Hurst, using his diaries and sketchbooks to tell the story of the young artist. In 2022, Drawn From Life: The Ruskin Diaries 1949-53, was the first full length WarmPorch book and this year we published the follow-up, Bluff Road: The Malaya Diaries 1953-1955, covering Steve’s experiences as a national serviceman during the Malayan Emergency.

Looking further ahead, my grandmother wrote her journals between 1931 and 1974, and they track the author’s life from a shy teenager about to embark on her nursing training during the early years of the Depression, to the older, hardy, market gardener contemplating retirement. Ideally I’d like to publish three volumes of these journals. The entire text has been transcribed (about 1.3 million words); the next task is to edit them down.

Timothy Adès is a prolific rhyming translator-poet with eleven books from French, German, Spanish, and awards for translating Victor Hugo, Robert Desnos, Jean Cassou, and Alfonso Reyes. His book of Shakespeare’s 154 sonnets includes his translations into Inglish, with no letter E, on the facing page. His bookstall offers, also, many poetry books by other translators: many languages, mostly bilingual books, some beautifully illustrated. He is a trustee of Agenda, the great poetry magazine. He is on Facebook and YouTube. He will be speaking for ten minutes, presenting poems which he has translated from other tongues.

In Teachers, Schools and Views on Education, John Howson brings together a year of sharp, timely reflections on the English education system at a moment of rapid change. Written as events unfolded, these commentaries capture the pressures facing teachers, the shifting demands on schools, and the policy decisions that shaped the national conversation throughout 2013.

With his trademark clarity and deep understanding of the teacher labour market, Howson offers readers a grounded, insightful narrative that connects policy to practice and national debate to classroom reality. From recruitment challenges to governance reforms, from curriculum shifts to workforce morale, this book provides a rare contemporaneous record of a pivotal year.

Essential reading for educators, policymakers, researchers, and anyone seeking to understand how the forces of policy and practice interact, this volume stands as both a historical document and a lens through which to view today’s ongoing debates.
