Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Deryn Rees-Jones' lively debut collection explores issues of gender and identity, memory and desire, through witty juxtapositions of character, plot and theme. Formative poems resound with magical imagery, as in 'The Great Mutando' and recapture the dream-states of childhood where 'Grandma in the… Garden' appears, not as a homely matriarch, but as a terrifying figure with "one wild Modigliani eye hooking the clouds". Other poems focus on love, from initial erotic frisson to break up and "the strange geographies of hurt". Also included are ambitious, various monologues like 'Lovesong to Captain James T. Kirk' and the provocative 'Metamorphoses' featuring a transvestite who dreams of being Marilyn Monroe."Deryn Rees-Jones proves herself to be a fascinating and compelling poet. There are two main strengths to this poetry, which endlessly repays attention by providing fresh nuances of seeing: the ability of Deryn Rees-Jones to manage a wide emotional range, and her fluidity of meaning."Critical Quarterly"Rees-Jones is a joy to read because she stands for life"OrbisDeryn Rees-Jones was educated at the University of Wales, Bangor, and Birkbeck College, London. She is an Eric Gregory Award winner, and The Memory Tray was shortlisted for a Forward Poetry Prize for Best First Collection. In 1996 she received an Arts Council of England Writer's Award. She lives in Liverpool, where she lectures at the University of Liverpool. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Shortlisted for the TS Eliot Prize for Poetry 2012.Shortlisted for the 2013 Wales Book of the Year.Poetry Book Society Recommendation.In her new collection, Deryn Rees-Jones presents poems of intense lyricism in the face of loss, including an extended elegy to her late husband, the poet and criti…c Michael Murphy. Above all, though, this is poetry that celebrates the life that surrounds us: from Roethkean 'small things' like birds, stones, feathers, flowers, eggs and truffles, to poems of the body, 'the blue heartstopping pulse at the wrist', and the transformative qualities of love."A powerful, deeply moving collection whose searching, often elegiac, sometimes joyous poems remind us that grief is not an end, but another beginning, and that loss drives us, inexorably, to a new kind of finding."John Burnside"The care and cares of this book, its heartbroken, exacting integrity, mark an important development in her work, enhancing its technical and emotional strength, range and versatility."Ian Duhig"This is a collection haunted by images of darkness. Yet the dark is also a source of creativity, of light. This book reminds us that to live (to survive) is itself a creative endeavour, a struggle against formlessness, which requires 'heart' and 'love'. These poems are a moving record of such experience, and a complex work of art."Tom Sperlinger, Huffington Post UK"One of the strongest forces in contemporary Welsh poetry." TLS"A refreshing abundance of energy. vividly sensory, [her work] teems with sharp images and inventive approaches." Poetry ReviewDeryn Rees-Jones was born in Liverpool with family links to North Wales, where she later studied. The Memory Tray (Seren, 1995) was shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best First Collection. Her other works are Signs Round a Dead Body (Seren, 1998) and Quiver (Seren, 2004), and a critical book, Consorting with Angels (Bloodaxe, 2005), alongside her accompanying anthology Modern Women Poets (Bloodaxe, 2005). In 2004 she was named as one of Mslexia's 'top ten' women poets of the decade, and in 2010 she won a Cholmondeley Award. Her work can be heard at the Poetry Archive. She currently teaches literature at the University of Liverpool. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Signs Round a Dead Body is the eagerly awaited follow-up to Deryn Rees-Jones's widely acclaimed first collection, The Memory Tray. Her humour, sharp technique and preoccupation with the dilemmas of women are as apparent as ever, but there is now a more intense personal focus. Love, in all it…s permutations, suffuses this book, and sensuous details abound: from poems like 'Making Out' and 'From His Coy Mistress', about the fears and vacillations of love, to the disillusionment of the Nerudian 'Songs of Despair'. Informed by a sensibility at once passionate, intelligent and ironic, this new collection confirms Rees-Jones's place at the forefront of contemporary poetry."The pick of the crop, a magician with attitude, pinning ideas down but at the same time giving them time to breathe"Ian McMillan, Poetry Review"Mighty poems. a direct line to the remembered and imagined life - so rare in writers, rarer still in young writers. her general reverence for bodies, and her generous remembrance of them makes her readers feel alive in ways they haven't felt before. It is not nostalgia, it is transport and return"Thomas Lynch Deryn Rees-Jones was educated at the University of Wales, Bangor, and Birkbeck College, London. She is an Eric Gregory Award winner, and The Memory Tray was shortlisted for a Forward Poetry Prize for Best First Collection. In 1996 she received an Arts Council of England Writer's Award. She lives in Liverpool, where she lectures at the University of Liverpool. Deryn Rees-Jones's new collection won a Poetry Book Society Special Commendation. It explores relationships with men and the wider cultural constructions of masculinity In poems such as "Making Out, " and "From His Coy Mistress, " the dilemmas of modern women are confronted with dark humor and sharp technique in a series of blistering narratives, while intensely realized love poems chart the passionate initiation of new relationships. Love, in all its permutations, suffuses the book, and sensuous details abound. Rees-Jones's first collection, The Memory Tray, was shortlisted for a Forward Poetry Prize for Best First Collection.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Erato takes its title from the muse of lyric poetry. At the centre is an interrogation of the lyric as a vehicle to write the world, both the beauty and the horror. Drawing on documentary-style narratives of her life, combined with lyric reinventions, Rees-Jones asks questions about past, pr…esent and future, about the slippages of memory, all our errors and erasures, and the places we inhabit when processing trauma. It is a book full of flames and scars, landscape and animals, and at its heart the transformative music that runs beneath words, and the bodies we inhabit when we love. Erato takes its title from the muse of lyric poetry. Drawing on brief, documentary-style narratives of her life, combined with lyric reinventions, Deryn Rees-Jones asks questions about past, present and future, about the slippages of memory, all our errors and erasures, and the places we inhabit when processing trauma.
