Sobre IBD

In this powerful volume of verse Lloyd Rees examines three key aspects of the relationships a man has with women – with a mother, a daughter and a wife. A confident mastery of form is demonstrated in the taught structures of the expertly crafted poems, but it is the astonishingly frank emotional honesty that shines here. There is rich imagery and beautiful melody but there is also a penetrating wit and startling humour in these elegies to loss and paeans to hope as the poet shines a laser light of truth on family ties.
