Ken Evans’s collection is structured in three inter-locking and overlapping sequences: Family; Masculinity; and America. Subjects range from the personal sacrifice and meaning of an organ donation; the loss of a child in still-birth; the death of a friend through drink, as well as bigger themes of our constant wars and forebodings of climate collapse. But these poems also experience hope, humour and optimism shining through – and often co-existing with the darker themes, thus poems on the small vagaries and mishaps of our digital lives, of the money-anxieties of car maintenance, or of negotiating airport security with a replacement hip.
Ken Evans featured in Broken Sleep’s Masculinity anthology and won the 2018 Kent and Sussex Poetry Competition. He has been published widely in magazines including Magma, Poetry Scotland, The Alchemy Spoon, Frogmore Papers. He began to write poetry ten years ago after donating a kidney to his sister who has lupus.
