Here is a collection of short poetic works which illuminate the large and small, the near and far, the once and then and here and now, each in clear voice and unsparing vision. Sproat’s subjects include the academy, the urban scene, the role of women in farm and home, generational faultlines and the complexities of family and friends. Her images are crisp, insightful, even-handed and to the point, sophisticated without artifice and electric in surprises and turns. If poetry is a condensation of life lived and worlds observed, and it is, these works are exemplars of the form.

Kezia Sproat’s Tuwyn takes you into her vibrant world. Its poems sketch portraits of people, playful and personal, and glimpse images that show how the ordinary becomes extraordinary. Its poems are landscapes, local and exotic, populated by creatures alive with language and lyric.

Touching on life and death, deeply profound and yet light as a feather, her work is refreshingly original.
