Details
A winner in The Poetry Business Pamphlet Competition 2007.
"This is a quiet poetry, strong with the humours and occasional horrors of country life, affectionate but never sentimental, its music grave and necessary as time."
Alison Brackenbury
"Their apparent simplicity arises from well-digested experience and a habit of accurate observation. Not a word is wasted, but there is tenderness and humour here and a very good ear at work."
Meg Peacocke
