The Never-Never is the dazzling debut collection of poetry by one of the UK's most distinctive new voices.

From joyriders in the rain-lashed back streets and housing estates of Wales, to London, California and beyond, Kathryn Gray gives us compelling tales of love and loss, of friendship, exile and the distant promise of home. The Never-Never is among the most readable and startling collections of recent years.

Kathryn Gray was born in Caerphilly, and studied German and Medievalism at the Universities of Bristol and York. She received an Eric Gregory Award in 2001 and her poems have appeared in the TLS, The Independent, Poetry Review, Poetry Wales and other major journals. She currently lives in London and has recently been appointed as editor of New Welsh Review.
