About the Book

Nigel Wells's Wilderness is haunted by the figure of sixties cult-singer Jim Morrison. The poems are about American outlaws and outsiders. They start with Morrison, and Morrison is never far away, like Jekyll's Mr Hyde. He is the wraith behind the other poems, a werwolf slipping back from the wild, a shadow. Just Bounce is the other side of Wells: his religious impulse, his animal nature, his delight in riot and ceremony, his obsession with English churches, Welsh rivers, birds, death and dereliction. Nigel Wells won a Welsh Arts Council Book Prize for his first book, The Winter Festivals (Bloodaxe Books, 1980)

About the Author :
Nigel Wells was born in 1944 and brought up in Essex and Hampshire. He spent four years in the RAF, then seven looking after laboratory rats and mice. After moving to Wales in 1972, he worked on farms, in forestry, and as a builder and a community worker, and studied at the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth. He lives in Machynlleth. He won a Welsh Arts Council Book Prize for his first book, The Winter Festivals (Bloodaxe Books, 1980). This was followed by Wilderness/Just Bounce from Bloodaxe in 1988.

Review :
These are live poems, poems to stalk, to apprehend rather than comprehend... their mastery of language is truly original, rich even in sparseness... a remarkable first collection: the mature work of a rare poet. He follows David Jones, Vernon Watkins and Anthony Conran to become one of the few poets to combine English and Welsh poetic and mythological resources, and achieve a form that excitingly transcends the rather narrow idea of craftsmanship that has characterised much writing in English from Wales. A most exciting book - Wells is an unnerving traditionalist working in the same profoundly important areas as, say, George Mackay Brown. A relish of hardness, of real places, of the coiled spring in language.
