"Poetry has never sounded so alive" - Cerys Matthews
Clueless Dogs is the first collection of poetry by Rhian Edwards. Already a noted performer of both her songs and poetry, this book confirms her startling talent.
Poems like The Welshman Who Couldn t Sing chronicle a fraught childhood in Bridgend, south Wales, where the sensitive child escapes through imaginative games of Playing Dead and Broken Lifeboat . Full of verve and humour, with a spiky syntax featuring hard-edged consonants, her language has a winning honesty and intensity. Later poems chronicle teenage lusts, student rivalries, damaged peers and tense situations. Although the author doesn t flinch from ruthless depictions in which we are often implicated by her use of the second person You , there is an underlying sweetness, an elegiac thread most evident in the poems of maturity, like Back to Bed , Safe , The Wrong Season full of both the sensual rapture of love and a clear-eyed realization of its inevitable disappointments. Witness the poet in performance and it is impossible not to hear her distinctive tones when reading her work. Clueless Dogs is a brave and beautiful first book.

Time Out "She captures and subverts cliche for poetry's purpose, lets sound ring in the lines, weaves common speech with lyrical language."Gillian Clarke"The unique voice lies in the music of the language, a distinctly un-English sound, often in a minor key, elegiac but with unexpected leaps of the imagination."Hugo Williams"Rhian Edwards makes the language sing and dance.
