Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry Wales Jenkins fifth collection is not post-card Wales but a very different postindustrial landscape subject to the whims of petty bureaucrats lampooned in poems like 'Talking Shop', 'Anti-resort' and 'Psychodahlia'. His poems of frustration ('Graffiti yells, but nobody's listening') contrast with his long love poem, 'A Strange Recognition', and with his poems of celebration and praise.
