Curving Sentences

Steve Day is a contemporary poet with a jazz background - reflected in the final section of the book. Curving Sentences is his second volume of selected poems. Like his previous collection The Edge Of England, this new work has a rich vocabulary contained within strong narratives. The reflective writing becomes almost tactile in structure. Birth and burial complete the curve of the life cycle; there's something deceptively positive about the darkness of this reality.
