Title: North by south
First published: 2002
Description: "This new book offers a choice selection from John Davies' substantial body of work. From the slate quarries of north Wales to the steelworks town of his youth in south Wales to the dirt roads of the American West, the poet's travels through rough landscapes and his meetings with the characters who inhabit them inspire witty, occasionally satirical and often piercing meditations. What is striking here too is the adventurous use of various poetic forms, from a floating free verse to a tightly rhymed pentameter stanza. The finely chiselled and crisp style of his language hints at his other vocation of wood carver."--BOOK JACKET.
