In 2011 Michael emigrated to Siberia to live with his wife Anastasia, writing about the experience in his memoir Sunbathing in Siberia (Parthian, 2014). When he is not growing vegetables at the family dacha or avoiding the wild Siberian hounds, Michael is also a freelance English teacher and occasionally contributes to The Siberian Times.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\u003csection\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAdolygiad y Cyhoeddwr \/ Publisher Review\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePraise for The Elephant’s Foot: ‘Self-deprecating and wise,’ these poems ‘are full, not only with laughter at the follies of everyday life, but with sadness too at its poignancy. They work to deflate pomposity where they find it, and celebrate a bleakly beautiful urban world.’ Zoë Brigley An origami crane in remembrance of Hiroshima. A father’s faded old photograph of his 1970s pre-marital sports car. Youths congregated at a bus stop. The sounds of an empty house after the children have flown the nest. Common phrases spoken by US tourists. Gangs fighting to the death. Radioactive clouds raining down over Europe. A collection of Princess Diana memorabilia. Teaching English in Siberia. These are just a handful of the themes touched upon in Michael Oliver-Semenov’s deeply personal and introspective first poetry collection. Extract from ‘Occupied Wails’: Never learning your own history, Your own language Your own people, Never quite knowing who you are. Praise for Sunbathing in Siberia: ‘[his] seemingly ceaseless ability for honest and frank prose is one of the book’s real strengths... Insightful and hilarious, the memoir prompts the reader to re-evaluate their approach to the East.’ New Welsh Review\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58821107745142,"sku":"9781909844605","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0041\/5340\/9585\/files\/9781909844605.jpg?v=1790364072","url":"https:\/\/www.siopypentan.co.uk\/products\/elephant-s-foot-the-9781909844605","provider":"Siop Y Pentan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
