Lyric & Poetry
This ambitious debut interrogates love and faith in the contemporary world. Grounded in the relationship of a profoundly religious woman and an atheist, the collection's central characters both become inextricably identified with the Old Testament King and Psalmist David. These free-verse psalms transplant all of the ancient form's tropes - vivid eroticism, praise, questioning, triumph, doubt, and lush naturalism - into modern Wales.
A New Statesman 2017 Book of the Year choice
Shortlisted for the 2017 Forward Prize (UK) for Best Artist Collection
