The Kindness of the Eel by Ben Ray
Winner of the 2019 New Poets Prize judged by Mary Jean Chan
Whether they’re inside the mind an Irish Giant’s skeleton, listening to The Last Cassette Player in the World or opening a Yugoslavian family photo album, these poems echo with stories and memories and sing with voices from the past. Tender, thought-provoking perspectives are interspersed with unexpected and absorbing vignettes, creating an imaginative collection which plays expertly with structure, perception and the poetic form to both challenge and entertain the reader.
