Product Description

Product Description

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.


About the Author

Samantha Wynne Rhydderch read Classics at Cambridge and took an MA in Creative Writing at Cardiff. She divides her time between Oxford and New Quay, Ceredigion. Already she is a veteran of readings in Wales, England and the Netherlands. She reads in Buenos Aires over the summer and is part of UK in NY in New York in october 2001.

3.0 out of 5 stars interesting work, 19 May 2008
By M. Brown "Mick" (Newcastle) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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
