reviews

“A new and compelling voice, at once both disciplined and passionate, both serious and moving.”
— RV Bailey

“great fluency, directness and command – a really impressive achievement. Every line feels deep and true, and very important in the most direct and clear way, and I hope [‘the two mercies’] is read and treasured by many’

—Clare Shaw

“… the lift of [‘bread of heaven’], steadily rising from the mundanity of sliced bread to an intimation of grace, all managed in a plain conversational style is quite something to behold”

—Greta Stoddart

“… Astonishing precision and accuracy… rhythmically and sonically superb.”
—Martyn Crucefix
