Icarus by Mobile - Gareth Owen - Bog

When Penguin Books published Gareth Owen's first collection, the eminent poet Patric Dickinson, wrote:
'Gareth Owen's poetry is original, beautiful, serious, funny, real and imaginative....
Nothing quite like it has been done before.....'
'Owen engages with questions of identity, emotional betrayal, unsettling changes of circumstances, love and loss...These are poems for private reading and long thought...This book digs deep.'
(Times)
'This is a gem...the language is rich, the lines are haunting and funny in equal measure... poems to be read again and again.'
(Books for Keeps)
'I keep putting this book in front of people and saying, "Read this!"
The poems assume our attention and merit it. Rather one Gareth Owen than a dozen anthologies.'
