Yves Olade’s lyrical prowess is apparent in Dark When It Gets Dark–a brooding and atmospheric series of poems filled with longing, the slow heart of desire and big silences. A must read. –N.L.SHOMPOLEYves Olade on Dark When It Gets Dark– is about desire, about gentleness and grief. The poems think in colors, in shapes, in moods. The collection also speaks to something of honesty, of truth, to the absence of duplicity. What would it mean for something to just be what it was, and nothing else? What if a storm is just a storm, and nothing else? What if it’s finally dark when it gets dark? 2020 KINGDOMS IN THE WILD POETRY PRIZE WINNER: YVES OLADE is an ancient history graduate and insomniac who lives on the south coast of England.
