Andrew Wynn Owen embraces a variety of formal structures and imbues everything with lively sensuality. Highlights of this collection include a paean to raspberries – 'so sweet they force you into song / And fill your head with dreams of hedon / -istic gymnasts born in Sweden' – and pair of poems inspired by the love letters of Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett Browning. These are gorgeous, tart and juicy poems which revel in language and are sure to win an adoring readership.
