The Ice Age by Paul Farley
The new collection from one of the best new talents in contemporary poetry and winner of the 2002 Whitbread Poetry AwardPaul Farley's debut collection, The Boy From the Chemist is Here to See You, was one of the most celebrated debuts of the nineties. The poems in The Ice Age are as engaged and engaging as ever, but also display a new philosophical depth: Farley's gift is to uncover the evidence so often overlooked by less attentive observers, finding - in childhood games, dental records and dog-eared field guides - those details by which we are proven and elegized. The Ice Age will only enhance Farley's reputation as one of the most formally gifted and imaginative poets to have emerged in recent years.
Paul Farley was born in Liverpool and studied at the Chelsea School of Art. He has published six collections of poetry with Picador, including The Boy from the Chemist is Here to See You, which won the Forward Poetry Prize for Best First Collection, The Ice Age, which won the Whitbread Poetry Award, and The Mizzy, which was shortlisted for the T. S. Eliot Prize and the Costa Book Awards. His other awards include an RSL Jerwood Award for Non-Fiction, the Somerset Maugham Award, and the E. M. Forster Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He has written and presented many drama and documentary features for BBC Radio and is a freelance writer and broadcaster.
