Shortlisted for the 2020 Wales Poetry Book of the Year Fur Coats in Tahiti is a cocktail of borrowed forms and modes from Dada, Surrealism, Fluxus, the OuLiPo, the Vienna Group and the New York school. There are scissor snips and slips of the tongue and eye in a sequence of word and image compositions derived from an Edwardian illustrated dictionary. Elsewhere there are childlike, and plain childish, oral and aural pleasures to be had with bananas, cherries and Slobodan Zivojinovic; tahini and Petroc Trelawny. The book begins with 'O', an openmouthed astonishment at nativity, and ends, not with Z but, in the hope of further connection, with the twenty-seventh letter of the alphabet: '&'.

Kicks is the humorous story of "Pinto" Ford, a rookie member of the Oklahoma City Billies soccer team (of the NACSL, a league which closely parallels the real-life NASL) during the season of 1984. The book takes the reader on a zany ride with Pinto and the bizarre team members in their up-and-down season of life on (and mostly) off the field. The cover of Kicks depicts a color cartoon of members of a soccer team raising their mugs for a victory toast.
