Poetry Collection Cover
Poetry and art by writer Des Dillon.
This full collection features poems and original art work by Des Dillon and follows on from the success of his limited edition chapbook Daily Bread.
This brand new poetry collection from Des Dillon has a powerful tone. He launches broad and bold themes from the page, holding nothing back. It is forceful writing: clear, perceptive, skilled. He balances toughness with delicacy and yearning with intimacy. He writes beautifully with a physicality that engages from the very first line and retains a tender grip throughout. The work is carried by Des Dillon’s exquisite handling of the language: form; rhymes that ripple through the poems; images extended or dropped lightly on the page. Prepare to be moved! – Charlie Gracie.
Des Dillon is an award-winning poet, writer, dramatist, and scriptwriter whose work has been published and performed across Europe and in America. His writing is critically acclaimed, popular and sometimes controversial, often addressing the elitism that creates under-classes. He wrote Singing I’m No a Billy He’s a Tim, considered Scottish Theatre’s most successful contemporary play. He won The Lion and Unicorn prize for the best of Irish and British literature in the Russian language. A product of the Coatbridge Irish, he is a natural storyteller as is evident in his classic novel Me and Ma Gal.
This 104 page collection includes poetry and art under the subjects of Family, Death, Philosophy, Nature, Love and Politics.
