Description: Estate Agent's Daughter, Paperback by Edwards, Rhian, ISBN 1781725837, ISBN-13 9781781725832, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The Estate Agent&;s Daughter is Rhian Edwards&; eagerly awaited follow-up to her multi-prizewinning debut Clueless Dogs. Her voice is both powerfully personal, local to her Bridgend birthplace, and performative, born to be read aloud. In the title poem, the protagonist has become a surrealist house, with dream-like details &;carpeted with sycamore seeds and cherry blossom throughout&;; the sturdy realism of a writing desk &;nudged/ to the brink of the bay,&; as well as points of sharp irony: &;all mod cons.&; This poem foreshadows both the heartbreak (a shattered first marriage) and joy (the birth of a daughter) that feature in the work that follows. We also have pieces of sly irony, of disillusioned dating. There is an engaging diptych devoted to a recently deceased grandmother and grandfather, who died within months of each other, and whose vivid personalities, with all their tragi-comic elements, shine through. The author combines her visceral skill for description, for these are poems based in the body, with a feminist, forthright courage to speak of difficult things.
