Product Description
by Stella Davis (Author)
"The tug of history steers these poems into view. Poems of this order not only provide an aesthetic pleasure - Stella Davis is rigorous, a precisionist - these personal histories become part of a wider history. Knowing, lyrical, meticulous, delightful: these are poems to savour and admire, to come back to and read again."
Julian Stannard, Winchester University
Glyn Purslove in Acumen writing about Last Boat to Avalon states:
"Stella Davis writes with an inviting directness (though without undue simplification); this is a poetry which engages with personal memories of the everyday and does so with both humour and an awareness of the "Eden-shining moment."
Wendy Cope in MsLexia writing about Last Boat to Avalon writes:
"...a very good and very readable poet. I don't often come across a collection that includes so many poems that make me exclaim, "Yes!"
