FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 5, 2010 -- Welsh writer Dave Lewis has just recently published his second book - Urban Birdsong is a collection of short stories, poetry, prose and one song and includes the award winning story 'Onions'.

Praise for 'Urban Birdsong':

"Dave Lewis offers us multiple perspectives in this musical travelogue through a modern Wales and beyond. Honest, raw and mysterious. Just when you think you’ve worked it out a twist, a turn, a sensuous push. This collection is finely honed each word carefully chosen. From the intimacy of family and friends, to lovers and laughable locals a quality of authenticity shines through. The writer’s eye for detail is finely observed and he is never afraid to confront authority head-on. The prose pieces are well crafted and show great range and the final poem in the collection is about as perfect as a poem can get – an absolute masterpiece! Avant-garde? Revolutionary? I’m not sure, but one thing is for certain there is no pretentious bullshit here."
- Mark Davies

"A melodic safari through a valleys consciousness."
- Andrew Davies, The Gallowbirds

"Dave Lewis’ second collection, Urban Birdsong, is a work of enormous range and scope both in terms of its form and subject matter. A Welsh writer who can move the reader from the local to global, from Merthyr to Monterey, and back again. Shared pain, shared laughter, and we are all as one, and all the richer for the experience. Carefully observed; funny and sad; accessible and illuminating: a must read collection of verse and prose."

- John Evans

"Dave Lewis brings together the personal and social in poems and prose set in pubs, fields and bedrooms. From Ponty to Africa, he makes places come alive with both humour and the senses."
- Mike Jenkins

Dave's book is available from Amazon and all good book retailers.
