Beneath Tremendous Rain by Martyn Crucefix
Disarming honesty; a refreshing seriousness; a remarkable range of form and tone - these are the striking characteristics of Martyn Crucefix's poetry. His first collection, Beneath Tremendous Rain reveals a willingness to tackle major issues with a directness and sensitivity that is matched by his forthright treatment of personal relationships. Crucefix rages at man's destructive stupidities, casts a cold eye on our desire and self-deception, yet he can still persuade the reader of the necessity to 'maintain hope which is essential.'
Martyn Crucefix has won numerous prizes including a major Eric Gregory award and a Hawthornden Fellowship. He has published five collections, and his translation of Rilke s Duino Elegies, published by Enitharmon in 2006, shortlisted for the Cornelius M Popescu Prize for European Poetry Translation and hailed as unlikely to be bettered for very many years (Magma).
