Can Dentists Be Trusted?

Martina Evans' third collection of poems begins and ends in the dentist's chair. In between come stories ranging from an Irish childhood to present-day London, featuring voices from the poet's own to those of her family, her cat and a supporting cast of hectoring lawyers, born bores and rambling mothers. Her novelist's gift for the idiosyncrasies of conversation lends many poems their special flavor. Born in Cork, Martina Evans now lives in London.

Martina Evans teaches Creative Writing at the City Literary Institute and is currently Royal Literary Fund Fellow at Queen Mary College, University of London.
