The full-blooded energy of these poems makes Death of a Naturalist the best first book of poems I've read for some time.' - C.B.

What he praises is to be praised in his own work.' - Christopher Ricks, New Statesman 'Now, to pry into roots, to finger slime, To stare big-eyed Narcissus, into some spring Is beneath all adult dignity. I rhyme To see myself, to set the darkness echoing.'
