The Jazz Age - An Entertainment

Semmens' new collection is a loosely structured sequence of surreal fantasies in which famous figures from (mostly) the past - sometimes singly, sometimes in unlikely pairings - make incongruous, anachronistic appearances in modern settings and situations.

About the author

Yorkshire-born, Durham-raised, Semmens has been a journalist for more than 40 years, working for both regional and national press, predominantly on the sports pages, but also as a columnist on general news topics. A gap of 33 years separated his first published poetry pamphlet from his first full-length collection, since when he has produced another five books. After 27 years in Suffolk, he recently relocated to Orkney.

Summary

Semmens' new collection is a loosely structured sequence of surreal fantasies in which famous figures from (mostly) the past - sometimes singly, sometimes in unlikely pairings - make incongruous, anachronistic appearances in modern settings and situations.
