Inhaltsangabe

Thirty-some years in journalism have left little obvious trace in Aidan Semmens's poetry - though, like the sports headlines he wrote for the News of the World, his verse is grounded in word-play and natural speech rhythms. In his first full-length collection he engages death, complexity, and the Authorised Version, which provides several of his titles. Other sources for his language include news magazines, war diaries, popular science and psychology texts, overheard phrases and the 2001 Aldeburgh Festival programme. This is a poetry of ideas and allusions, where, as in music or dream, any hinted-at narrative is liable to be subverted, taken to unexpected ends.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

A 33-year gap separated the publication of Aidan Semmens's first poetry pamphlet by Lobby Press in 1978 and his first full collection, A Stone Dog, by Shearsman in 2011. He has since edited By The North Sea; an anthology of Suffolk poetry (2013), published two more collections, and relaunched Molly Bloom, a magazine he founded in 1981, as an online-only publication. He lives in Suffolk and is a freelance journalist.
