Details
Attempted love and sexual identity form the recurring themes of W.G. Shepherd's third collection of poems. As in his previous books, Sun, Oak, Almond, I (1970) and Evidences (1980), he writes searchingly in a variety of styles, lyric, narrative and reflective. His poems, wrote Christopher Hope reviewing Evidences, `are a rare blend: thoroughly disciplined yet unrelentingly experimental.' W.G. Shepherd writes compellingly, whether exploring ideas of emotional loss through the broken discourse of the Serenadepoems, portraying the frustrations of the immature and egocentric character in the verse biography Guy, or translating an erotic poem by Ovid.
Born in 1935, Bill Shepherd was educated at Cambridge. He is married with three children.
