Arresting and intelligent, the first full collection from Robin
Thomas exudes wit and warmth. Acutely observed and often wry,
Momentary Turmoil abounds with both imaginative leaps and a deeply
humane sensibility. 'Loud Carriage' Passengers are reminded that we
have four loud carriages, B to E, where you are expected to cough,
sniff and scrunch paper bags, to talk as loudly as you can and hoot
with laughter at jokes which are devoid of humour. You should
bellow into mobile phones, shouting details of your divorce, or why
Harry, sitting two seats away, has to be sacked or that you are on
the train. If you are quiet in any loud carriage you will be asked
to transfer to the punishment carriage, F, where, unless you
recant, you will be required to write an essay in which are
elucidated the provisions of Magna Carta, write a villanelle in
Latin and/or compile a report on the recent downturn in sales of
guttering in Lithuania. Author Biography Robin Thomas completed the
MA in Writing Poetry at Kingston University in 2012. He has had
poems published in a number of journals including Agenda, Envoi,
Orbis, Brittle Star, Poetry Salzburg, Poetry Scotland, Pennine
Platform, The High Window, South, Stand, Rialto and The
Interpreter's House. He has been shortlisted for the Buzzwords,
Bridport and Bath Poetry Cafe prizes and is represented in the
Stanley Spencer anthology published by Two Rivers Press in 2017.
His pamphlet, A Fury of Yellow, was published by Eyewear in
November, 2016. His second collection A Distant Hum was published
by Cinnamon in 2021.
