A huge thank you to Ken Head and Helen Ivory at Ink Sweat & Tears for this review of Riddance from 2013, which I discovered today while tidying up some links on this site.
It’s full of some generous comments and insights, supported by lengthy quotation from the poems, not least from my long poem All Lives, All Dances, All is Loud in memory of my late friend the artist Lucy Mason.
It is a wonderful surprise and joy to find it, ten years after Riddance was published and nine since the review itself. With deep thanks to Helen and Ken.
