Product Description

Review

'One of the most dynamic new voices in poetry, an outstanding debut collection' --Harper's Bazaar

"One of the most talented writers I've come across, with tremendous delicacy of feeling and expression"
--Andrew Motion

'These are incantatory poems that insist on being read aloud.'
--Observer

'impressive debut; it shows a sensitive imagination, moulded into thoughtful verse.' --Financial Times

'The subjects careen from barn owls to ... internet search obsession, but a warm intelligence underpins them all.'
--Financial Times

"...easily one of the best poetry collections I've read in the past decade."
--The Herald

`bewitchingly recherché...there's a poise and precision to his writing, a gift for imagery...a willingness to...explore multiple (frequently unsympathetic) voices...'
--Guardian

Book Description

Confident, seductive, and thrillingly assured, this vital collection is an enthralling introduction to one of our most exciting new British poets.

I bought this collection a while ago now and have read it through a few times as it inspires different imagery and musings upon the poems each time I do. Some of the poems are quite short and yet each word seems so well placed- The Moth,Scar Tissue,Blossom and Trawling are just a few examples of brief yet very carefully structured writing. Elsewhere historical references sit beside tales of everyday lives and the nuanced detail is always very impressive...I definately suggest this collection for fans of thoughtful, melancholic and deep poetry.
