Valley of the Kings

<p class=ql-align-justify><strong><em>Valley of the Kings</em></strong> is both excavation of family history and an incantation of voices telling contemporary stories that startle. The grieving son and the street angel; the coke addict meeting Piers Plowman in the service-station; the singing nightingale on Universal Credit; the homeless person in Ancient Egypt; the young lovers in their mythic hotel: all united in 'the exquisite pain of the human day'. </p><p class=ql-align-justify><br></p><p class=ql-align-justify>Let 'the weight of the wind on tide' sing loud in this visionary debut which introduces an exciting new voice to the UK poetry scene.</p>
