Books by Rhian Edwards

Rhian Edwards won Wales Book of the Year for her debut poetry collection, Clueless Dogs. The Estate AgentâEUR(TM)s Daughter is her eagerly awaited second book. Acute and wryly observed, the poems step forth with a confident tone, touching on the personal and the public, encapsulating a womanâEUR(TM)s tribulations in the 21st century.

Brave and beautiful, this remarkable debut collection of poetry features the edgy, modern voice of an urban female. From poems of a fraught childhood in Bridgend, south Wales--where a sensitive child escapes through imaginative games--to works depicting student rivalries, damaged peers, and tense situations associated with teenage problems, this compilation matures with an underlying sweetness. Additional poems explore the sensual rapture of love and the clear-eyed realization of its inevitable disappointments.
