The poems in "Panoramic Lounge-bar" are astonishing. They are contemporary and playful, whilst being directly concerned with "viccissitudes of the heart" (The Call). In this unusual book, romance is blended with art, music and knowing wit to produce an effect one would only have thought possible in cinema. Indeed, he has produced a kind of cinema of the imagination. I found myself reading and re-reading them and in the end wishing for more.

Thoughtful and thought-provoking collection, revealing previously hidden depths about a person I once knew - or perhaps never really did. Beautifully written, scattered with subtle and amusing references to classical and other works. I take issue with one of August Kleinzahler's remarks on the back cover, however. Maybe if John had ever been prepared to "negotiate a roundabout at 60 miles an hour", we would still be married. A wonderful book though and a pleasure to read. Congratulations John on an extraordinary achievement. Few true poets manage to get themselves in print with such a prestigious publisher these days, and even fewer poets who do so emerge from the publishing process as readable as you have.
