Synopsis

"Steven Waling s marvellous poems inhabit the awkward corners of everyday lives. He has a keen awareness of life s absurdities, uncovered in poems that are by turn lyrical and surreal, poignant and full of edgy wit."
-- Amanda Dalton

<> "I ve greatly admired Steven Waling s poetry since The Smiths were in the charts. It might seem strange in these strange days to claim a poet s work to be enlightening as well as enjoyable but I d say this is particularly of Steven Waling s. And the manner in which it enlightens is precision: of perception, of language, of social morality. This is his first major collection; it is a substantial and valuable book."
-- David Morley

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Steven Waling is excited by words and ideas and things. Sometimes he s sad, sometimes happy, sometimes even religious, or in love; but he considers himself lucky that he lives in a world full of language and colour, where he can find the corner of a café somewhere and write it all down. His writing is grounded in the North (and particularly Manchester, where he lives). He describes places and moods with deadly accuracy. Although he s most comfortable with demotic English, his patterns and rhythms are tightly controlled .
