Steph Morris achieves a fine engagement between affection and refined outrage Daljit Nagra
His jaunty humour and O’Haraesque casualness can often mask his more serious concerns about the environment and our attitude towards it.
This is a playful and exuberant debut from a poet with a wonderfully original voice. Tamar Yoseloff
A deft and knowledgeable moving to and fro between human lives and the lives of plants and animals David Constantine
Carefully positioned in the context of a planet in ecological and political crisis, love persistently comes through. Jacqueline Saphra
