Beskrivelse
Jeremy Dixon’s debut poetry collection A VOICE COMING FROM THEN won the Wales Book of the Year Poetry Award 2022. It is a compelling and deeply moving meditation on queer identity, community, loss and, above all, survival.
At the core of this meticulously-worked book is a personal experience which opens a door to wider conversations about acceptance and protection. These poems are deftly written, sharp with detail and incident, humming melodies and casting their eye across dance floors, voyaging to Australia and singing the intimacy of crowded lifts. A Voice Coming From Then asks us to listen now – this collection is a rallying cry not just for inclusion but for love, in so many forms. The book also included graphic elements such as statistics, photographic collages and Letterpress pages.
