“Graham Mort is a deeply engaged poet…This collection is distinguished by the way it conveys Mort’s engagement with people, places, nature, history…hard won, it is the work of a writer whose poems are beautifully wrought and yet underpinned by a sense of life’s inherent complexities. It is, finally, a collection to read and return to for its unpretentious wisdom.” - Wayne Thomas, Planet, Feb 08
