It is in the acute awareness of such moments of separation - past or impending - and in the friction between these two diverse states that Sheers' penetrating, tender poems are often formed. At once grounded and lyrical, the poems in \u003cem\u003eSkirrid Hill\u003c\/em\u003e, first published in 2005, reveal the continued growth of a poet gifted with a rare descriptive power and a uniquely sensitive insight into the trials and contours of life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOwen Sheers\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Blue Book\u003c\/i\u003e, which was short-listed for the Welsh Book of the Year and the Forward Prize for Best First Collection, and \u003ci\u003eThe Dust Diaries, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich won the Welsh Book of the Year and was short-listed for the Ondaatje Prize.
