Love, lust, loss, art and myth - all find their way into Alan Kellermann's stylish debut collection. Here, the worlds of America and Wales collide, the sacred and the profane sit side by side and the paintings of Tony Goble are startlingly animated. Whether musing on the ghost in a martini or re-imagining a lover as a listed building, Kellermann is never less than engaging - with a talent for wearing his considerable learning lightly. Witty and moving, You, Me and the Birds signals the arrival of an exciting and important new voice in poetry.
