| Publisher Description: Poetry. Lyric or narrative in character, these poems are stitched through by the search for significance in the particular, whether at a train-station, draining a radiator, or eating chips, or on the alternative uses of Tipp-Ex, how not to take stairs, the joys of metal-detecting, or the vertigo of jet-lag. This sense of immanence below the surface, just beyond reach, is addressed through themes of family, memory, history, illness and recovery, travel, and exploration. This questioning, sustained gaze, casts a steady, sombre eye over the everyday, but with care, candour and lightness, too. |
Contributor Bio(s): Evans, Ken: - Ken Evans won this year's Kent & Sussex Poetry Competition and The Battered Moons Competition (2016). Last year, Ken was included in an anthology of Best New British & Irish Poets, edited by Luke Kennard. Kennard referred to his featured poem as a "hypnotic exercise in imagination and compassion."

TRUE FORENSICS is his first poetry collection. |
