Sphinx Review on The End
This is a pamphlet that hits hard with its uncompromising title and gloomy cover image of an ancient church among headstones.
London Grip on The End
Both the title and the photograph of a graveyard on the cover leave us in no doubt about the subject matter of this pamphlet.
Pulsar Poetry on The Stock Exchange of Ideas
Gohorry is serious about the “exchange” in the title; clearly a man of wide-ranging enquiry and learning, he revels in exploring writers from many cultures and acknowledges their influence.
David Caddy on Dialling a Starless Past
Culturally, street wise and savvy, Dialling a Starless Past, echoes the waywardness, poverty and songs of a misspent life.
Anne Drysdale on Dialling a Starless Past
This is poetry without pretension, but not always an easy read. These are poems informed by a life lived as-it-came and genuinely rendered in retrospect with the craftsmanship and understanding that fifty years of reading and writing make possible.
Lauri Scheyer on Dialling a Starless Past
This full-length collection of new poems by Mike McNamara establishes him as a serious and dedicated writer of originality, skill, and depth.
Ver Poets on Mirror Lake
I have always found David's poetry interesting and affecting. Some of his poems bring that 'oh gosh' sigh deep from the stomach, such is his honesty in writing about difficult emotions.
Pulsar Poetry on Mirror Lake
This is a collection shaped and shot through with Van-Cauter’s grief and reflections on the illness and death of his beloved wife.
Sphinx on Mirror Lake
Mirror Lake is dedicated to the poet’s late wife, Julia, and variations on the theme of loss appear throughout his pamphlet, which delves deep into personal experience.
Confluence on River Lane
Simon Cockle’s first collection is a beautifully produced book published by Arenig Press. I have noticed that this publisher, based in Wales, has of late found some startling and skillful voices, including Mr Cockle.
