The Elephant's Foot, The by M A Oliver-Semenov
An origami crane in remembrance of Hiroshima; a father's faded old photograph of his 1970s pre-marital sports car; youths congregated at a bus stop. These are just a handful of the themes touched upon in Michael Oliver-Semenov's deeply personal and introspective first poetry collection. -- Cyngor Llyfrau Cymru
'Self-deprecating and wise,' these poems 'are full, not only with laughter at the follies of everyday life, but with sadness too at its poignancyThey work to deflate pomposity where they find it, and celebrate a bleakly beautiful urban world.' Zoe Brigley
Cardiff-born Michael Oliver-Semenov served as the first poet in residence for Blown, the magazine of cultural intelligence, and has since published in The Stockholm Review, The Morning Star, Orbis, Mandala Review, Ink Sweat and Tears and 10 of the Best. In 2011 Michael emigrated to Siberia to live with his wife Anastasia, writing about the experience in his memoir Sunbathing in Siberia (Parthian, 2014).
