Tyres and Driveways is Richard Kemp's second pamphlet, a collection alert to the overlooked textures of English life. 
Across its poems Kemp maps seaside leisure and childhood summers - beaches and candy, crazy-golf courses, overgrown verges, discarded junk and weathered roads - and the way natural light shifts through domestic rooms across a day. Tamar Yoseloff praises his gift for finding hard beauty in arcades and pound shops, trash and rust, and the eerie glare of just-past-midnight streets, transforming the familiar with cinematic richness. 
A precise, atmospheric portrait of ordinary places and their quiet strangeness.
