Please join us to celebrate the launch of Debris by Daniel Huws. The reading will be hosted by poet, critic and translator Hilary Davies.

The event will feature readings and discussion, and audience members will have the opportunity to ask their own questions. We will show the text during readings so that you can read along.

Registration for this online event will cost £2, redeemable against the cost of the book. You will receive the discount code and instructions for how to purchase the book in your confirmation email as well as during and after the event.

Debris collects poems from Daniel Huws’ first two books, Noth (1972) and The Quarry (1999), alongside a substantial set of new poems and translations, and a few occasional poems.

Huws is now ninety-three and, while this is only his third collection of poems, Debris justifies Daniel Weissbort’s comment in PN Review: ‘one difficulty in reviewing Huws is precisely that he never wrote, or at least released, a dud poem.’ Huws’ poems are true lyrics, seeming to emerge out of often difficult or obscure moments whose import and meaning only come into view as they find their brief lyric shape.
