On the Face of it
On the Face of it is a collection of poems written in three intermittent bursts over a ten-year-period. All of these were spontaneous outpourings of words, emotions, if you please. Some were furiously scribbled on scraps of papers, others composed desultorily on a cellphone. The publication of this anthology marks the end of a chapter in the life of the writer--that of penning poems.
The Face Of It
Paige Spencer is pretty happy with her life. A lecturer at the local university, Paige is planning her first novel, and loves her hobbies and spending time with her best friend Maya. Then a series of events happen which turn her structured world upside down… Maya, Paige’s closest confidant, is sent to the other side of the world for work. Then a throwaway comment from a colleague leads Paige to question her identity. Suddenly her every action feels like it’s under a microscope – how will she cope? And then there’s Taylor… Taylor Watkins is an overworked academic studying for her PhD. Having been burnt by love, she is focused on her work – until her twin brother Dylan arrives in a whirlwind of chaos. Both siblings have demons from the past that they can’t quite shake off – and when after a chance encounter Paige comes into Taylor’s life, Taylor has some big decisions to make. Although the women seem to be a perfect fit, can they get past their personal struggles, family problems, and the traumas of the past – or is their blossoming relationship doomed to failure? For fans of The Rosie Project, The Face of It is a heartfelt, funny, and life-affirming novel by debut author Rosie Williams, offering a unique perspective on autism, relationships, and life with addiction.
The Face of It
Roger Langley's poems explore perception. They take their bearings from forms as diverse as Renaissance hermeticism, a Greek vase, Rauschenberg's painting, Bottom's dream, a green beetle. Here the world may chime, like a building by Palladio, or disappear on a parting wave as in a film by Bergman. Surprise and truth come together. Things are both ordinary and vivid, distinct and universal. Langley's poems take delight in the sound and sense of language: for him, etymology can be revelation. In the interplay of word and object, each poem attempts an epiphany.
