NCW Book Club: Boy in Various Poses

We are reading Boy In Various Poses by Lewis Buxton (published by Nine Arches) during February and March 2022. This tender collection of poems looks at the many different sides of boyhood – its vulnerability and bravado, emotion and humour. 

All of the awkward, vulnerable truths and joys of boyhood.’

‘Corporeal, surreal, and shocking, these poems are also beautifully tender – and Buxton’s precise, imagistic use of language often has the poems singing from the page. A bold and moving debut.’ – Hannah Lowe

‘What a tender, surprising collection this is. All of the awkward, vulnerable truths and joys of boyhood – of bodies and balls and fathers – are here, bloodlet and coursing through these poems.’ – Ross Raisin
