The poems in Jean Stevens’ latest collection range through  everything from a pub on the North York Moors on a black cloaked night, an encounter with a stranger in the dead hours in Soho and jackdaws who come mob-handed, to a reflection on Elisabeth Frink's ‘The Walking Madonna’, an accident on black ice, a muddy quad bike, and a meeting with Beethoven in Burnley. Among poems inspired by her Yorkshire Dales home (I’ve fallen in love with the bones of this place ... where wind meets wind) are accounts of late love - when you’ve lost your hair, your waistline, your hearing, and your sweating stains the bed, and of quietly desolate loss: I thought I saw and heard you...  This is a body of work with a beating heart.

The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....

  • Nothing but words
    Jean Stevens
    The poems in Jean Stevens’ latest collection revel in words: the joy of them; the work of finding the ones that say exactly what we mean; our use of them to ’manage the nothingness’. The words we choose for nature are ’vital for living at one with the elements’. A relationship can bow under the strain of ’a lifetime’s freight of words said and regretted.’ Words spoken and heard...
