Letford makes poems from the rhythms of speech and the stuff of daily life: work and love, seasons and cities, and his writing is alive with the wonder and comedy of the mundane. Bevel is filled with voices - 'an he says \/ A love the summer \/ it's hoat \/ ye kin wear yer shoarts...' - and with the knowledge that becomes engrained in the body: 'The weight of a drill. The texture of rust.' Letford works as a roofer, a trade that gives him a particular perspective on life at ground level. 'Be prepared', he writes: pay attention to the moment, know which way to fall. His poems are sure and strong, the words dance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far From The Madding Crowd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43924723826947,"sku":"9781847771926","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0404\/3207\/4914\/files\/9781847771926_6eaf1a31-53ba-4892-85d2-f594c0dd2129.jpg?v=1731416627","url":"https:\/\/www.maddingcrowdlinlithgow.pro\/products\/9781847771926","provider":"Far From The Madding Crowd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
