In Paul Groves's fourth book, which consolidates his reputation as one of the most able and consistent poets of his generation, we encounter such unlikely stablemates as Rudolf Hess, Virginia Woolf, Dylan Thomas, and Otto von Bismarck. It ends with 'The Orthodox Chapel of St. Dyfrig', an anagrammatical tour de force. While his characteristic wit enlivens 'So Now You Know' and 'In the Kabul McDonald's', elsewhere darker forces congregate. 'Three Devils', for example, conflates the ordinary and extraordinary with chilling brio. An unsettling perspicuity is apparent throughout these pages, as is an equal facility with vers libre and formal structures. Wowsers is a wonderfully accessible and entertaining collection.

Sex and Death are the dominant themes of this provocative new collection. With precise formal elegance and ironic flair Groves expertly dissects the angst of contemporary man. Groves' territory is a no-man's land between convention and perversion: a man is driven wild by a woman putting on her clothes; a woman tries to have a phone conversation whilst having sex; politically correct expectations are teased by the sinister behind the mundane. This is a challenge to certain, typically British, inhibitions and sentiments. The plainness of Groves' language, the cool accuracy of his conclusions and the exactitude of his observations allow him to deal with dangerous subject matter, while astute form and rhyme help tame volatile material. He is frequently funny, always entertaining: Groves' stature is proved with this disarming book. Paul Groves was brought up in Wales, to which he has returned after living for twenty-five years in the Forest of Dean. He has been strikingly successful in national and international competitions and has published poetry and criticism in a wide range of periodicals, including The London Magazine, Poetry Review and The Times Literary Supplement. He lives in Monmouth.
