New collection of poems, No Time by Kieron Winn

No Time features poetry first published in e.g. New Statesman, The Spectator and The Times Literary Supplement, and includes, among much else, a poem on Coleridge in Nether Stowey. Now available.

No Time explores how the malleability of early life evolves into shape and pattern. Decades are bridged by a return to the scenes of childhood holidays, or by reading a grandfather’s wartime letters. There are poems marking the conjunction of public and private events, and others about the joys and losses of middle age. Rigidity is melted by tenderness, and the fluency of living is challenged by illness. Poems are set in Greece, Oxford and Cornwall; the cast includes the Beatles, Rembrandt and the Voyager 1 probe, and Yeats’s ‘Sailing to Byzantium’ is rewritten by Housman, Eliot and Larkin.
