Past Praise for Andrew Motion:
Motion shows new confidence in formal playfulness, from exploded
lyric verses to prose-poem blocks and shorter bursts of more
conventional stanzas.-- "Independent"
Past Praise for Andrew Motion:
There is an equally journalistic tone to much of Motion's war
poetry, a like fascination with the smallest detail, the observed,
ordinarily missable, fleeting thing. Many of the poems are 'found,
' repurposed prose and speech; dialogue and utterance stand in for
performed, foregrounded craft, and are all the more affecting for
their hesitations, stutters, and colloquial slips.-- "Los Angeles
Review of Books"
