- Book Synopsis
- Light Airs confirms Mick Evans as an exceptional poet whose linguistic dexterity in making every phrase work on multiple levels is matched by his impressive range of references. Whether the metaphors are of love or change, hubris or the banality of evil, the control and voice is always unerring, the precision always honed and intelligent. There are poems here that will chill and unsettle the reader and poems of exquisite tenderness. What unites them is there is never a complacent, sentimental or glib word. These are poems of depth and passion threaded with humane humour. Pushing at the boundaries of form, Light Airs is an inventive, honest and distinctive collection that will resonate long after reading.
- About The Author
- Mick was born in London but grew up in Hertfordshire. He taught in Kent and Cheshire before moving to Carmarthenshire. The village in the Towy valley where he lives faces the hills above Llyn y Fan Fach and the site of the Bronze Age settlement on Garn Goch. Against this background urban influences and the forces of myth and history converge in his writing, combined with the resilience of nature. A winner of the Welsh Poetry Competition, he reads at open mic events in Carmarthen and Llandeilo. This is his third poetry collection with Cinnamon, previous titles being Burlesque and Light Airs. He has also written a collection of prose pieces, Short Cuts.
