'The lineation speeds along at a nice articulated pace, the Dantesque pitch is right and propulsive, the cast of villains is energising, the balance between language and lingo, the allusive and the obscene just right.' - Seamus Heaney; 'Sparse by design, this poetry is a strong reminder of the power of words when allied to our imagination, experience and emotions.' - Prize Judges, New Angle Prize for East Anglian Literature
