A recipient of an Eric Gregory Award as a young poet, Ian Gregson's debut collection, Call Centre Love Song went on to be shortlisted for a Forward Prize for Best First Collection. Described by Carol Rumens as 'combining a postmodernist's sense of 'things being various' with a traditionalist's concern for shape and completeness', Gregson's work is formally diverse, eminently accessible and packed with wit, but this is never glib or throw-away. There is deep commentary going on in these poems, on how we make and break connections, on the possibilities and limits of language and perception. Brilliant, often funny, frequently poignant and always timely, The Slasher and the Vampire as Role Models, is a new and collected that shows Gregson at the height of his linguistic dexterity as poet with something real to say.
'Gregson's work is characterised by a belief that poetry should include and incorporate modern experience and not simply cordon off a special lyric arena where the world stops and 'poetry' begins.' - Patrick McGuinness"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
