Today SHINE is pleased to continue this month's series of poetry book reviews, with the delightful work of Ewen Glass. His chapbook, If You Stand in the Corner of the Spare Room You Can Just About See the Sea (Inkfish Press), is sure to move. You can read my review below, and purchase your copy by clicking on the book cover image. Congratulations, Ewen, on your fine work! In If You Stand in the Corner of the Spare Room You Can Just About See the Sea (Inkfish Press), poet and screenwriter Ewen Glass crafts a delicate collection full of weight. Exploring the contradictions of what it is to be human, and our need to fulfill the unfulfillable, a reader is greeted with words that resonate and emotions that fill the gaps between what’s viewable and what’s not. For me, stand-out poems include: I Can’t Sustain You, Feast, and Winter Solstice. Don’t miss this short but poignant book. -SAMANTHA TERRELL, EIC SHINE international poetry series   Ewen Glass is a screenwriter and poet from Northern Ireland who lives with two dogs, a tortoise, and a body of self-doubt. His poetry has appeared in the likes of Okay Donkey, Maudlin House, HAD, Poetry Scotland, and One Art.
