"Splendidly various"
TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT

Typewriters, plagiarism and the poetic line are just three of the subjects under the spotlight in this book of essays by much-loved literary blogger Katy Evans-Bush.

Studies of Ted Hughes, Louis MacNeice and Dylan Thomas sit alongside a new look at Keats, a search for forgotten war poet Eloise Robinson, and practical guides on poetic technique. Katy Evans-Bush combines the intellectual rigour of the literary critic with the dynamism of a seasoned traveller in the blogosphere. These essays place poetry at the heart of contemporary culture, meeting at the borders it shares with music, politics and sculpture. She writes about art and life in a way that is generous, witty and incisive.

Reviews
"Sharp, wry ... wears its considerable erudition lightly." Time Out "An incredibly astute, accessible and stylish critic. Poetry for her is not some arcane pursuit. It is a way of thinking and being in the world. I love her work." Suzanne Moore
