Reviews:

"…Experiment and tradition combine to original effect in poems that are metrically alive and often rich with rhyme, yet display constant mindfulness of Pound’s dictum to ‘Make it new!’…refreshing and impressive in the clarity and focus of a rich and sensual lyricism that is never at odds with uncompromising realism…"
Douglas Houston

"…Brilliantly translated and the language works…"
Tom Paulin, BBC’s Late Review on Cloaca
