Jenny Lewis Fathom The ‘fathom’ of Jenny Lewis’s title resounds through her collection as noun and verb, implying both depth and the reckoning of it…Her poems, in fact, employ many of the techniques of painting, drawing readers in through the gleam of colours so intense and appealing as to be almost edible. GUARDIAN

Lucy Newlyn Ginnel Don’t doubt that this is very good poetry indeed…If you require a nostalgic hit of childhood and place, the ingredients which make this collection universal, it is here for you. THE LEEDS GUIDE

Robert Saxton Manganese Intellectually persuasive, tough-minded and strikingly outspoken. This is an extremely well-read, cultured poet…He is also one heck of a craftsman, producing a dexterously sculpted poetry. ORBIS

Peter Scupham Collected Poems He writes wonderfully about places, especially about English places…The sophistication of the technique which underpins every poem becomes clearer and clearer as you read further in this substantial, generous, distinguished volume. Peter Davidson, Books of the Year 2005, READYSTEADYBOOK.COM

Joe Sheerin Elves in the Wainscotting The Irish poet Joe Sheerin’s superb second collection… CITY LIFE

Penelope Shuttle A Leaf Out of his Book Some of the poems are very funny…others divertingly offbeat or simply moving…there is a delight in the book as world, the world as book. TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT

Marina Tsvetaeva Selected Poems, trans. Elaine Feinstein Marina Tsvetaeva was the first of the modern Russian poets whose greatness really came clear to me, thanks to these translations.

Chris Wallace-Crabbe By and Large His allies are words, and he uses them with the care of a surgeon and the flair of a conjuror. Peter Porter
