Winner of the Dylan Thomas Prize and Poetry Digest’s Bard of the Year Award
"Ann Drysdale is one of our most consistent readable and rewarding poets and Quaintness and Other Offences comfortably maintains the high standards she has set for herself... There isn't a single dud of a poem here..."
Acumen
Characterised by wry wit, delightful humour and an extraordinary grasp of the intricacies of language, the fifth poetry collection from acclaimed poet, biographer and journalist Ann Drysdale displays all the skills of an assured and deeply humane writer. Her ability to handle poignant subjects with emotional depth, but not a trace of sentimentality, is matched by her astute intelligence and sharp observational eye.
