Tonight the Summer's Over by Rory Waterman
The debut collection by a contributor to the acclaimed New Poetries V anthology.
'Rory Waterman writes poems of the kind there'll always be a need for - poems that require skill to make but don't insist on it, that combine keen-eyed observation and immediately graspable shades of feeling in a memorable wayWaterman's is a very appealing voice, laconic, unillusioned and vulnerable. His world is a recognisable and convincing one, his rueful, sometimes harsh sincerity is palpable, and he deserves to be read by anyone to whom these things still matter.' --Alan Jenkins
