Steve Griffith’s long-awaited third collection of poems Uncontrollable Fields is a sensitive look at the contemporary world, the legacy of politics, history, love, chance. Ranging across Wales, England and Spain, from Owain Glyndwr to cruise missiles at USAF bases, these poems probe and plot our society today. Grffiths also finds a more personal entry to his exploration through the lives and deaths of his parents, which loom large in outstanding poems of remembrance. Throughout, the poet demonstrates once more his sense of form, his control and his exciting use of imagery. Steve Griffiths is a serious writer, a perceptive social commentator totally engaged with life.
