Eyewear Publishing ‘Aviator’ Pamphlet Poets launch March 2016
Hosted by Bob Walton
Paul Deaton’s Eyewear Pamphlet Black Knight
Paul Deaton’s poems hinge on the earth’s turning, evocation of seasonal change and a watchful awareness of the universe that seeks a wider sense of placement; the path plotted is emergent: from family and lost love and from a heeded darkness. Sharp and succinct they don’t seek comfort but relationship. Pamphlet Endorsement from Rachael Boast: Grounded and alert, Paul Deaton's poems possess an emotional intelligence and artistry which makes for a richly textured style. His use of language bends to the strong will of imagery, the cooperation between the two resulting in diligent and captivating work.
Lizzie Parker’s Eyewear Pamphlet Antinopolis
A major theme of Parker's work is the fragility and strength of human relationships. In these intriguing poems, the domestic meets epic and archetypal stories of human connection and disconnection, presented through image-rich, sensuous and sensual language. Pamphlet Endorsement from David Morley: This is an exceptionally fresh début collection. The originality, drama and memorability of Elizabeth Parker's poems work a potent magic. Antinopolis marks the arrival of an excellent new talent.
Claire Williamson’s Eyewear Pamphlet Split Ends
Williamson's poems explore the realities of recovering a lost past through visceral stories of family truths. Unflinching, the poet interrogates, seeking understanding and freedom. Love, human relations and children are a central theme in poems that portray a freshly explored present, but even here, nothing is taken for granted. Pamphlet Endorsement from Alison Brackenbury: Claire Williamson’s work is both powerful and intriguing. Her words are ridden by animal energy; haunted by human mystery. These poems mourn loss and celebrate the new, with her distinctive blend of pathos and hope.
