Dave Lewis is a unique voice in the poetry world. This new Haiku collection is filled with a range of vivid, often quirky, word pictures. He is adept at making every word count and often goes his own original way, as in a favourite of mine, 'Consultant's waiting room / the plant in the window / dead...' who else would have the temerity to finish on that single-beat word, dead? His thought-provoking images and surprising last lines take your breath away and will remain with the reader for a long time. - Moira Andrew

Praise for Sawing Fallen Logs: From the first eponymously titled poem, we realise that Dave Lewis's work possesses an energy and freshness that lifts his imagery and empathy way above the work of many less ambitious poets. The element of surprise in each poem, however short, is even more startling coming as it does from such uncluttered writing. Last lines are an example, while phrases such as 'trees as tall as ships', 'a severe lack of hares', 'the brittle grass of misunderstanding...' will surely enhance the readers' own perceptions of the world around them. This collection's structure too, works well under its five separate headings, and the diverse forms used in several poems adds visual variety. A wonderful read. Buy it! - Sally Spedding Dave Lewis is a vital voice of the Valleys, in touch with both the streets and the natural world. His free-flowing verse makes him a Welsh son of the Beats. - Mike Jenkins

Dave Lewis' eight book is a new collection of contemporary poetry. 'Dave Lewis' new work opens with Henry Thoreau's famous quote, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation". Very apt in our Twitter-twatter, X-Box-Factor age when apathy, indifference, and resignation is the norm and the - increasingly - lost generation slumber party away their lives wearing Onesies. This book of verse is polemical, confessional, a slap in the face wake-up call, and a much needed challenge to all "those up there" who should have, and could have made it better.' - John Evans 'At times witty, at times gritty, Dave Lewis has produced a fascinating collection on human connection. The humour is dark, the love is bright, the poetry is touching, taunting, spewing, galling, tender. Modern life is out there and engulfing but the passion for truth still lives. Roadkill overflows with personality, it's a roller-coaster ride, and to use the words of the poet "I'm smiling like Tenby".' - Eloise Williams

Back in 2005 Dave and his friend Derek decided they needed a challenge and so what better than a little bike ride around the countryside. Read on... 'When you're nearly forty years old, just recovering from glandular fever and double pneumonia what better way to celebrate your wedding than to leave your wife behind to cycle the length of Britain? An account of two friends, who got drunk one night and decided to pedal nearly 1000 miles for charity, proving that you don't need a state-of-the-art road bike, a skin-tight outfit with a TV sponsor written on the front or a made-to-measure ego - you just need a good mate, a beer mat's worth of planning, no training whatsoever and the will to do it.' More than just another cycling trip, this book is a funny and sometimes moving account of a few weeks in the summer of 2005 when coupled with various personal events life takes on a new and different perspective. This book will either inspire you to get on your bike or have you laughing all the way to the pub.
