Synopsis:

Lyric or narrative in character, these poems are stitched through by the search for significance in the particular, whether at a train-station, draining a radiator, or eating chips, or on the alternative uses of Tipp-Ex, how not to take stairs, the joys of metal-detecting, or the vertigo of jet-lag. This sense of immanence below the surface, just beyond reach, is addressed through themes of family, memory, history, illness and recovery, travel and exploration. This questioning, sustained gaze, casts a steady, sombre eye over the everyday, but with care, candour and lightness, too.

About the Author: Ken Evans won this year s Kent & Sussex Poetry Competition, and The Battered Moons Competition (2016).

True Forensics is his first poetry collection.
