Combining imaginative scope with formal grace across a range of subjects - the sea, the land, the home, the very brink of things - Jacob Polley's first collection The Brink is a Poetry Book Society Choice and one of the most eagerly anticipated debuts of recent years. Matthew Welton's startling debut The Book of Matthew is a witty and memorable collection. His work transcends his many influences - Dylan, country and western, Brautigan - to create poetry which is distinctly urban in subject, tuneful yet subtle too.
