After the rites and sandwiches

Helena Nelson on The Friday Poem: ' It is a particular privilege and pleasure for this reader to surf such delicate, precise waves of understatement'.

Peter Raynard on Everybody's Reviewing: 'a stunning biography of a marriage and its aftershock, that will stay in the reader’s memory long after the book is laid to rest.'

the small manoeuvres

Emma Simon on The Friday Poem : 'sharply observed, acerbically witty but also deeply moving at times, particularly in the tender depictions of friendship and the honest way the poems explore ageing and the sense of time passing.'

Matthew Paul on his Poetry Blog: 'full of  clear-eyed perceptions, a palpable sense of social justice, deep respect for family, friendship (especially amongst women), history and memory, and finely-drawn character studies. They are, in the best way, very readable poems, without any irritating tricksy-bollock nonsense'.
