In The Slowing Ride Stone reclaims his role of cerebral journeyman: an inveterate trawler of history, both recent and far distant, moving back and forth between epochs and events, between personalities, cultures and landscapes, leaving behind delicate silken threads of suggestion, salvaging what remains of the humanistic in delineating the replicating tragedies and punishments endured by the fallen and the uncomprehending, those who unknowingly share a non-linear time. Like its predecessors, The Slowing Ride reintroduces that rare species, an English-born European poet 'conjuring extraordinary visions of beauty and despair, joy and horror, revelation and nostalgia'.

About the Author

Will Stone (b. 1966) is a writer, poet and translator of French, Belgian and German literature, living in Suffolk. He holds a degree in Literary Translation from the University of East Anglia, Norwich, and has produced prose and poetry translations of the works of Stefan Zweig, Emile Verhaeren, Goerges Rodenbach, Maurice Maeterlinck, Rainer Maria Rilke and Joseph Roth, among others. His debut poetry collection, Glaciation appeared with Salt Publishing in late 2007 and went on to win the prestigious international Glenn Dimplex Award for Poetry the following year. A second collection, Drawing in Ash, followed to critical acclaim in May 2011, also with Salt. Shearsman Books subsequently produced new editions of both these collections, followed by The Sleepwalkers in 2016, and The Slowing Ride in 2020. Previous to these mainstream publications, Will's poetry appeared in limited private press editions, containing his own original photographs.
