Details
Jane Weir is Anglo-Italian, she grew up in Salford where she was born, and lived in Belfast for several years before moving back to England. In Before Playing Romeo Jane Weir’s second collection, we find ourselves and others on teetering balconies, in deliciously decaying villas and on sun-gorged Italian terraces.
‘Jane Weir is quite simply the most exciting new poet I have read since Alice Oswald’ — Carol Ann Duffy
‘These are poems to go back to time and time again. Jane Weir’s voice is as true as it is unerring. Phone me please, Kirsty Young, I’ve found my Desert Island Book’
— Glenn Patterson
