First full length collection by the incredibly exciting Samantha Wynne Rhydderch: sharp, quirky, an oblique look at the everyday and at when the fragile meets the unyielding. Rockclimbing in Silk marks the arrival of an exciting new voice in Welsh poetry. Samantha Wynne Rhydderch's poems are both allusive and elusive: words and images chime and echo, demanding and enticing the reader to make connections and fill out the poem. Hers is an imagination which slips across logic to produce startling metaphors and similes which intrigue and entertain, starting from the personal and expanding into the universal in a stimulating, lyrical collection which stays in the memory.

By M. Brown
Format:Paperback
i believe there is more work to come(Not in these shoes) but there are some interesting ideas here. A poem "erratum" about telephones sticks in the mind.
However, you get the feeling that there is more to come from this writer .
although i liked individual poems- the first title poem for example, very evocative language choices etc, i did not feel there was a great deal ofr coherence or thematic unity to the collection which somehow made it less satisfying
