A Bit of an Ice Breaker: Selected and Uncollected Poems

5/5 ( ratings)

'A Bit of an Ice Breaker' is a selection of the very best poetry from acclaimed Leeds-based writer James Nash. The poet has sifted through his first two collections, 'Deadly Sensitive' and 'Coma Songs', and chosen some particular favourites to be made available in ebook form - along with a sprinkling of recently commissioned, previously uncollected work.

In their new, less crowded incarnation, Nash’s poems speak clearly of his interests and obsessions; these are writings of comic embarrassment, of close relationships, of birth and death. Vulgarity sits close to tender love poems, poetry is discussed with taxi-drivers, while no-one protests at drunken sexual activity in a crowded north Leeds sitting room.

From the author's introduction: 'Though some of the poems selected might be, like me, showing their age a little, I hope, as always, that the words are enough.' And don't miss James' latest collection, 'Some Things Matter: 63 Sonnets', available now.

Language: English

Pages: 45

Format: Kindle Edition

Publisher: Valley Press
