Sound Archive by Nerys Williams
With her philosophical and critical cast of mind these poems are as much about perceptions and values as they are about their subjects, they build sounds-scapes of imagery, veering away from straight-forward narrative. They, as one poem says, 'murder the discursive', in order to eschew cliche.
Nerys Williams was born and raised in Carmarthenshire, and now lives in Ireland. Her first volume of poetry Sound Archive (Seren, 2011), was shortlisted for the Felix Dennis Forward prize and won the Strong first volume prize. Her second collection Cabaret was published in 2017 by New Dublin Press. She is an Associate Professor of Poetry and Poetics at University College Dublin and a Fulbright Alumnus (UC Berkeley).
