Review
'The effects can be spellbinding. The most noticeable thing throughout this book is how incredibly musical Maxwell's work is... The most useful tool in the poet's workbox is, of course, the iambic pentameter line and its variants, which is something that Maxwell has learnt from the likes of Frost, Auden and, at his best, Larkin. It enables the creation of a kind of spoken music, in which sound and sense and stress all harmonise, giving the poet a wide tonal palette with which to work. . . One Thousand Nights and Counting shows that, at his best, Maxwell is a poet of formidable technical gifts who revels in the sheer power of storytelling. This is a poet who knows as well as any how to make a human sound.' --Guardian
'If any one poet deserved the accolade "poet of the age" it is Maxwell; a man able to imbue uncertain times with a deep sense of the past, modern politics with fairytale, social more with myth. This is a celebration of twenty years of Maxwell's poetry and reveal a man of wit of wisdom, but also a man haunted by the worries of everyday existence. Often the present becomes strange and unfamiliar as the sentence twists and turns, breaks and bonds. The syntax is the star and few poets in the last 50 years have used word and structure to such effect, given us such reason to question the world we thought we knew.' --Press Association
