The Book Of Tides

The Book of Tides is treasure trove of poems that are delightfully risky, thrilling and close to the bone. Readman's poems teems with the rare and beautiful, the dark particular strand of skewed folklore; we encounter fishermen, mermaids, a man with a beard of bees, a Tattooist's daughter, Joan of Arc - voices with an irresistible, peculiar power.
