Clay Hill

Clay Hill Synopsis

Clay Hill is an exciting first collection which explores the collapse of the remnants of our Victorian and Edwardian past in poems of authentic atmosphere, of beautifully sustained movements and silences. More personal poems exist in this context, relieved by the poet's humour, and his feel for words and their texture.

"Liardet's poems are as substantial, as polished and as carefully packed as Victorian tallboys"
Christopher Meredith

"Tim Liardet is a real discovery. Clay Hill is one of the best first collections from a Welsh publisher in years... there is a secure mastery of the poetry line and a concern for language that is constantly rewarding... a poet of real achievement and exciting potential"
Tony Curtis
