HALWILL publishers Indigo Dreams Publishing has raised a further £492 from initial sales of its poetry anthology for Macmillan Cancer Support, Heart Shoots.

This takes donations to the charity to almost £1,500. In a working agreement with Macmillan, Indigo Dreams has published two anthologies, Soul Feathers and Heart Shoots, and has managed to secure contributions from icons such as Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen in addition to Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy, Benjamin Zephaniah and recently deceased Seamus Heaney.

Indigo Dreams has also received endorsements for the anthologies from The Prince of Wales, Prime Minister David Cameron and Sir Alex Ferguson.
