Description
Steve Day is a contemporary poet with a jazz background. It's been said that his writing has echoes of T.S. Eliot as well as the `Beat' generation of Kerouac and Kaufman. The poems that make up The Edge Of England reach beyond literary comparisons into a world where "saxophones send references...." Jazz is rarely the subject but his words are improvised harmony honed into assertive composition. The result is bitter-sweet secular confessions, written in a language on the margins. In that sense The Edge Of England is a global frontier.
