Editorial Reviews
Review
A superb first line, ‘No colours can mean more than Lego’s’ (‘Delicate greenery’), leads on to an amazing arc of narrative and imagery and richness. There’s playground slang and prejudice. And suddenly a pared-down, lyric directness… –Tony Williams, Magma
…when you come to such energy combined with impressive inventiveness and lyricism, it is rather hard to pass on by […] the humour, the wittiness [are] there throughout, as is a boldness of utterance […] Here, however sorrowful the story, I hope other readers too will feel the energy of language in the making. –Caroline Clark, Eyewear
