'To write a poem as a working-class woman is an act of courage, of resistance. To perform it is a revolution' – Joelle Tayor

Work as if you live in the early days of a better world -- Alasdair Gray via Dennis Lee

'pizzazz, wit and - astonishing at his age - both technical assurance and a genuinely integrated humanity' -- Fiona Sampson

Sue Hubbard pays close and exact attention to the elemental world and the vulnerability of the human within it - Pascale Petit

To soothe you / I ran back down to take a photo: / it's a splendid one of the horse / but you're only a hurrahing speck

if the body is a great creation why wait / indoors with it?

S. J. Fowler's poems deal with disjunctions and interjections. They present us with a world that moves fast and often violently, where the lyrical impulse flowers, breaks and flowers again, too briefly to assert its full syntactic argument....Fowler's poetics are an open space packed with brilliant intensities. George Szirtes
