Summary: Strictly No Poetry presents the long-anticipated gathering of Aidan Mathews' work over the last twenty years. Across fifty-eight poems, Mathews addresses with tact and compassion the issues of family, sexuality, politics and war, each underpinned by a conscious faith and a reverent awareness of the physical body. Mathew's remarkable skill lies in his ability to combine the everyday with the extraordinary, the sacred and the profane - an unexpected collage holding history to account in balance with a radiant interiority. Strictly No Poetry is probing, provocative and necessary - a tuning fork held up to the passage of our days.
