Description
A striking performer of her own poems, Ros Barber has the gift of recreating her voice - and the voices of others - on the page. The poems in this debut collection demonstrate her wide range in form and subject and her skill in highlighting the extraordinary within the commonplace. With their leavening of dark humour and their formal dexterity, her poems charm, entertain and provoke.

Reviews
'Ros Barber's work is exquisitely honed in meter and metaphor. She makes the iambic pentameter sound as if she just invented it.'Patience Agbabi
