"Is a shed a substitute for something never had a replacement mother, or a kind of flat-pack dad?" So begins John Davies' much published and broadcast signature poem in his new full-length collection "Shedman", named after his journeying alter-ego. Shed poems there are aplenty, illustrating Shedman's career since his first residency at Brighton's Booth Museum of Natural History. But this new collection also represents the broad spectrum of John Davies' work. Across the different sequences, Davies weaves together his themes with wit and seriousness in an array of carefully crafted, thoughtful and thought-provoking poems.
