Description

Poetry Review New Poet of the Year 1997Look - here's a poet of ferocious invention, a breathtaking wit that ushers us to epiphanies of grief and laughter, an encyclopaedic knowledge of hip ephemera that's never merely knowing, and a playful ear - which is, I note, an anagram of Paul Farley . . . What more do you want?' Michael Donaghy

The best few poems in this collection are very fine -- as in most collections, the rest cannot maintain that very highest standard
