Dr Jason Edwards

Complexity, Death and Nothing Dr Jason Edwards

"Jason Edwards is courageous, bold and extraordinarily honest. He writes about imprecise relationships with an exploratory precision that left me repeatedly gasping in recognition. He writes about physical love with a matter-of-fact lack of embarrassment that is startling, powerful and reminiscent of Genet. He also uses and subverts the sonnet form to provide a kind of memoir in poetry, which reaches deep into the physical and spiritual world of the poet. There is no flowery language in these sinewy poems, just a writer confronting the evolving faces of truth about the world, his relationships and himself. A beautiful first collection." James Nash, author of Some Things Matter: 63 Sonnets
