Overlap by Valerie Bence
Valerie Bences latest poetry pamphlet is a testament to ordinary lives, and a meditation on grandmothers. Part memoir, part family history, Overlap is a series of vivid vignettes from the poets childhood, courtship, motherhood and grandmotherhood, spanning the 20th and 21st centuries.
‘That Bence had her first successes later in life has perhaps impacted how the writer deals with memory and displays perspicacityBence’s writing is always canny, attentive, and imbued with high emotion.’ Alan Parry, The Broken Spine.
