The superheroes in question are a motley crew. Evel Knievel, Sophia Loren, Ian Rush, Marty McFly, a bicycling nun and a recalcitrant hippo all leap from these pages and jostle for position, alongside valleys mams, dads and bamps, described with great warmth. Other poems focus on the crammed terraces and abandoned high streets where a working-class and Welsh nationalist politics is hammered out. This is a post-industrial valleys upbringing re-imagined through the prism of pop culture and surrealism. If the authors subjects have something in common with RS Thomas, or even Terry Street-era Douglas Dunn, his technique and approach owe at least as much to contemporary American poets like James Tate and David Wojahn.This is a rare thing: a successfully funny poem, which is imaginative, tender, and unexpected. The final image seals the whole poem with a statement of love usually hard to pull off which works brilliantly. Sinad Morrissey on Evel Knievel Jumps Over My Family.This poem is marvellous. The way the subject is handled is superb, and the ending is a corker! August Kleinzahler on Gregory Peck and Sophia Loren in Crumlin for the Filming of Arabesque, June 1965. A triumph of under-writing, which makes the poem become a celebration of a father. What also is captured is the childs respect, admiration and love. The humour is an important levelling ingredient in this family gallery. The description is exact, almost humbling in its economic precision. This is splendid writing, an enviable achievement. Roger Elkin on How to Renovate a Morris Minor.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
