Rockclimbing in Silk

First full length collection by the incredibly exciting Samantha Wynne Rhydderch: sharp, quirky, an oblique look at the everyday and at when the fragile meets the unyielding. Rockclimbing in Silk marks the arrival of an exciting new voice in Welsh poetry. Samantha Wynne Rhydderch's poems are both allusive and elusive: words and images chime and echo, demanding and enticing the reader to make connections and fill out the poem. Hers is an imagination which slips across logic to produce startling metaphors and similes which intrigue and entertain, starting from the personal and expanding into the universal in a stimulating, lyrical collection which stays in the memory.
