Winter Lines by Daniel Healy
Extract (Download)
In this debut collection Dan Healy, a young Welsh poet, displays the power of writing that is pared back to the essentials. The poems appear to be fragments, but they resonate long after the page is turned; cool, sharp language that stirs the depths.
Praise for Healy’s poetry
When the need arises to excise the troubles of a day just gone, this is a book to be reached for and, as with lowering one’s face to a bowl of chilled water, dipped into. Dan Healey’s poems are quiet moments… be they of acutely observed park, roadside caff or river – they ask us to share in his sense of wonder at a moment’s this-ness, ‘…a shiver of light…’
