Description
Jeff Phelps’s poetic world is peopled by the ordinary and the extraordinary. With subjects ranging from Noah’s daughters-in-law to the mill-child dodging death under the looms, they leap from the page and don’t always land safely.
But we, his readers, are in safe hands. Whether you’re ‘not quite lost’, ‘in disarray’ or ‘foolhardy, green as Icarus’, you’ll feel better for his curious eye and steady hand.Alison Leonard…an impressive first full-length collection of poems… This is a wide-ranging collection that takes us through a good deal of history while at the same time raising questions about some of the more pressing issues of our own time. Highly recommended.
