About the Book

Ken Evans’s collection is structured in three inter-locking and overlapping sequences: Family; Masculinity; and America. Subjects range from the personal sacrifice and meaning of an organ donation; the loss of a child in still-birth; the death of a friend through drink, as well as bigger themes of our constant wars and forebodings of climate collapse. But these poems also experience hope, humour and optimism shining through – and often co-existing with the darker themes, thus poems on the small vagaries and mishaps of our digital lives, of the money-anxieties of car maintenance, or of negotiating airport security with a replacement hip.



About the Author :
Ken Evans featured in Broken Sleep’s Masculinity anthology and won the 2018 Kent and Sussex Poetry Competition. He has been published widely in magazines including Magma, Poetry Scotland, The Alchemy Spoon, Frogmore Papers. He began to write poetry ten years ago after donating a kidney to his sister who has lupus.

Review :

Ken Evans has divided this ambitious and searching collection into three overlapping sections. The Oikosphere – from oikos – family, household (Greek); The Anersphere – from aner – male (Greek); and Americanicity, a pleasing word I’d not heard before, noted as ‘an uncommon noun’ …A Full-On Basso Profundo is a deeply-felt collection for right now. Ken Evans challenges, with craft and musicality, the state we’re in. A necessary book.

Evans brings curiosity, wit and energy to his work. He’s observant, and translates his observations into neat imagery … He’s alert to contemporary issues of war, climate change and gender politics, but also playful with language – witness what he does with rhyme and half-rhyme in Real Diamond Lederhosen, where skin is described as a “body glove we shine in […] no stein or red wine can stain.” And beneath all this humour and play, A Full-On Basso Profundo displays real compassion for human vulnerability, and even offers us a sort of prescription for survival.
