Ordinary Morning Sunlight by Christopher Reid Tishani Doshi The world revealed to us

The world revealed to us in eighty two is both life-affirming and apocalyptic

Menna Elfyn’s collection explores the many ways in which respect can be expressed

Ordinary Morning Sunlight by Christopher Reid Tishani Doshi The world revealed to usChristopher Reid's poetry is shaped by incisive intent disguised as playfulness, and a powerful resistance to decorum and convention. He draws us into the dark with such an offhand manner that we don't know it's happening. Here, he subverts traditional forms such as the ballade, to let his mischievous, almost incidental but deeply moving observations and encounters resound.
