Erec & Enide

Taking its title from Chretien De Troyes' twelfth-century Arthurian romance, Erec & Enide moves through a vibrant, rich and playful mix of underhand lyric. A deceptive and light-footed vulnerability unexpectedly folds in on itself to throw up the most serious questions; then resolutely refuses to 'make sense' of things. These modern love poems wear their ideologically saturated state on their sleeve, and are all the more loving for that.
