About the Book

'Throw it away, throw it away': in Flight Risk, C. E. J. Simons uses lyric forms to explore the shocks and joys of middle age: past relationships, marriage, childbirth, fatherhood, and the consequences of a life devoted to poetry. 'Uxor' and 'Prayer for My Son' show domestic bliss flourishing in a world that also contains the power relations of 'Haggard' and the sexual exploitation of 'The Liberties, Kabukichō'. Half a dozen imitātiōnēs from poets ranging from Wyatt to Yeats show Simons coming to grips with the origins of his own voice. The book concludes with 'Exclusion Zone', a stunning four-part poem on Simons's photojournalism work for the ten-year anniversary of the March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.

He has held the Harper-Wood Studentship in Creative Writing at St John's College, Cambridge, and his criticism and poetry have appeared in numerous UK publications including the TLS.

Review :
'Simons' book is full of beginnings and endings, but it is what occurs in-between that really engages. A book that will make grown men - fathers especially - pause, and pause again. The voice rings true - and the skill is dazzling, effortless. But the heart beats too.' - Peter Robert Dale Flight Risk is a collection which, once again, showcases Simons' hallmark strengths of linguistic curiosity, the eclectic experience of a well-travelled life and his dextrous use of form. Simons combines these in this new collection as the poet reflects on universal experience - of mature or not-so-mature love, on becoming a parent, on work - as he comes to the Dantesque crossroads of midlife. Watch out for the bear wandering in and out of this particular dark wood.' - Claudia Daventry Michael O'Neill on Underground Facility, C. E. J. Simons's previous book: 'Immediately accessible, formally capable, unafraid of the occasional barbaric yawp, and always engaged in a vivid recreation of experience. Readers will warm to the volume's resilience, its stylish courage.'
