Twenty-First Century Renderings

Twenty-First Century Renderings is a first collection of poems about love, culture and poetic influence from a new British poet, Christopher Dadson.

In this collection, Christopher explores themes of change, constancy and conflict through a broad range of forms and styles, from traditional sonnets and ballads through lyrical and dramatic monologue, to free verse and longer narrative styles.

His poems are straightforward on the surface but contain echoes of English and Spanish language poets through the ages, resulting in a contemporary collection that draws equally on early modern poetic tradition and present day experience.

Christopher Dadson is a British poet and playwright. He was born in 1982 in Belfast and received degrees in English and Latin American Studies from Cambridge and London universities respectively. He currently lives with his wife and son in London, where he works full time in the charity sector and writes in his spare time.
