Description
Hugo Williams' eleventh collection of poems, I Knew the Bride, is a deeply personal and unflinchingly honest exploration of his life. The title poem is a touching tribute to his late sister, while other works in the volume delve into his childhood and adult years with equal candour. These poems are set against a rich backdrop of everyday life, from record collections to hospital wards. Straight-talking and self-deprecating, Williams' inspections of his own life are both funny and profoundly moving. This collection is not a mere rehearsal of past experiences, but rather a brave and courageous exploration of the human condition. With vulnerability and fearlessness, Williams shares his ongoing hospital treatment in poems that make this collection a courageous read. Through its diverse range of subjects and styles, I Knew the Bride offers a unique perspective on life's complexities and challenges.
