The Effect of Coastal Processes by Adrian Blamires
Adrian Blamires’ debut collection, The Effect of Coastal Processes was a Waterstone’s ‘Best New Poetry’ selection and the title poem was read on Radio 4’s Poetry Please.“Here is a collection that demands and repays re-readingMoving and aesthetically rewarding, the poems are informed by a deeply compassionate intelligence and shaped by a thoughtful yet unobtrusive craft. The haunting presence in these poems is the history of human nature – timeless, yet driven and defined by time’s passage; universal, yet inescapably relevant to private individual conscience. In addition to the uncharted watersheds of our private histories, Adrian Blamires draws unostentatiously on a knowledge and love of Greek myth, history, and English literature to make poems of acute contemporary relevance, in a language at once lyrical and demotic. In this lucid and deeply humane first collection, with its incontrovertible ‘clarity of loss’. Blamires offers us poem after poem as individual acts of restitution.” ~ Elizabeth Garret
“Ingenious, an aspiring Muldoonian.” ~ Carol Rumens, The Guardian
“Light-years in the living-room… scale-drawings in which the everyday becomes unnerving.” ~ Maria Barnas
