AGOG

Pete Marshall's poetry is wry, witty and playful, yet always pushing at the boundaries of formal and free verse. Stylistically fresh and engaging, the poems often come accompanied by images and found material, only enhancing their literary and artistic impact, and reflecting a deep rootedness in the landscape and mythology of North Wales. This passion for place comes through in densely layered verse, not averse to social and cultural commentary, often with a critical edge. In its combination of the lyrical and the colloquial, of formal innovation and an outward-looking, thought-Provoking narrative, AGOG brings together a very original perspective on the valleys of home.
