Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
Seren Books is pleased to announce the publication of What It's Like to Be Alive - Selected Poems from the highly-regarded poet, Deryn Rees-Jones. A milestone in the career of this author the book includes generous selections from her previous individual collections including her debut, The Memory Tray , her subsequent Signs Round a Dead Body , her murder-mystery in verse, Quiver , her T.S. Eliot prize-nominated, Burying the Wren , and her long poem inspired by Edward Thomas' wife, And You, Helen . A poet of intimate lyricism, of thoughtful speculation, close to the natural world, or 'creaturely' as John Burnside puts it, this is work which balances a singular musical quality with a profound intelligence as well as a deep emotional power.
