from tiny St Govan’s tucked in its cliff-face

Is one woman a mother

In Augustin's world the absurdities and the Gordian knots of existence are neatly unravelled with surprising nimbleness and with laughter

Photovoltaic Kieran Goddard translated by John Manson"In this vivid, wide ranging and reflexively aware collection, Sarah Watkinson is a poet who is also a scientist, rather than a scientist writing poetry. She brings knowledge and experience, professional and personal, to her poetry and demonstrates mastery of her medium. She addresses important and profound themes but always with a light touch and humour is never far away. This is an impressive first collection and a model of informed nature writing."
