To the God of Rain by Tim Liardet
In Tim Liardet's fourth poetry collection, his complex, intricate, and fascinating poems are like miniature novellas, full of incident and atmosphere. Their titles set scenes, such as "Whisky Drinker Considers his Skirmish with Death," A Futurist Looks at a Dog," and "Re-reading Lolita in a Tropical Climate." Characters are delineated in swift, ironic strokes, and strange coincidences are celebrated. The peculiar vertigo of travel, a mixture of fear and excitement, permeates many of the poems. Love also induces dizzying states in poems such as "Tremble" and its companion piece, "Tremble, Tremble."
Tim Liardet was born in London and educated at the University of York. He has travelled extensively and worked in the fields of IT and Marketing. Wideley published, he currently works as as a freelance writer, editor and lecturer in Bath. To the God of Rain is the author's fourth collection and follows the acclaimed Competing with the Piano Tuner.
