The Man at the Corner Table

By Rosie Shepperd

Rosie Shepperd's debut poetry collection, The Man at the Corner Table (Seren), crackles with the unexpected. The voice is one of urban sophistication; a merciless charm that teases and tempts us with sensual evocations of food and place. The reader is surprised with tastes, scents, colours and textures. There is a winning insistence on detail offered with an irony that blends into satire. The poems adopt a deadly seriousness to the business of comedy. Like a secret recipe, the author's technique is invisible, leaving us with poems whose flavors linger and become something that surprises and changes us.
