5.0 out of 5 stars Simple Eloquence, 19 Sep 2008

By	Simon Tavener - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am not a frequent poetry reader but this is a delight to which I shall return on a regular basis.

Excellently constructed, it is a series of poems that examine urban life, love and loneliness with a nuanced subtlety and humanity. The language and forms are clear, concise and eloquent.

Nothing seems forced or overly contrived and so it speaks very directly to the reader.

I laughed and cried - which is a rare response from me. I really cannot recommend this collection highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 6 Feb 2009

By	Horace (Cambridge, England) - See all my reviews

It was great news for me that this book won the prestigious Forward Prize for a first collection of poetry. It's a compelling vote for a witty, unpretentious, moving, and allusive collection of verse.
