"Past and present illuminate each other in the work of this richly impressionist poet. First you will notice the musical fascination with words, echoes, rhymes; then the way that these poems shape themselves into teasing perspectives on big themes - the fidelity of nature, the infidelities of time and love, of loss and grief. The melancholy loveliness of sea-shore, the haunting loneliness of forgotten seaside towns are here, as well as brisk merciless narratives of modern life. A grown-up poet, brave and adventurous." - U A Fanthorpe.
