Sherazade and her Sultan commented by Doris Corti “A deeply layered, visionary piece to read and enjoy repeatedly… takes the great leap of the imagination which is the essence of poetry.” Learning the language of the lake commented by Alison Chisholm “It is very difficult to write a poem about a political subject, a subject in the news more or less every day, which feels fresh and new, which does not feel somehow, you know, worthy but I think this poet has managed it.” Dandelions in Golan commented by John Whitworth "Writes with great rhetorical flair and her poems have delightful song-like echoes" comments on various poems commended by Don Paterson. |
