Christine Evans
SHORTLISTED FOR WALES BOOK OF THE YEAR PRIZE 2007

This new collection from Christine Evans follows last years well-received ’Selected Poems’.  Hers is a sensitive and persuasive voice, highly attuned to the vagries of the seasons, to the landscapes and inhabitants of the beautiful Llyn Peninsula in North Wales where the author has made her home.

As well as vibrant short lyrics on everything from ’Bluebells in Nanhoron’ to jets flying over Wales, there are a series of tender elegiac pieces on relatives, meditations on the last moments of Shelley and the fates of the Brontes, and a number of poems featuring the mysterious Island of Bardsey.

Born in Yorkshire, Christine Evans moved to Wales in 1967.  She divides her time between farms on the Llyn Peninsula and Bardsey Island.

Reviews

"These poems are linguistic fingerprints, in language so clear and
mind-entrancingly individual that the reader is drawn into reciprocal generosity"
Anne Cluysenaar, Planet,  October 06
