Synopsis


'Three Dragon Day' was a winner in the 2014/15 Poetry Business Competition, judged by Billy Collins

A genuine talent for spotting bright details against dark backgrounds. Magma

'If the pastoral is not dead, it is at least badly wounded, these upsetting poems remind us. Instead, the scene is a vast polluted city, where nothing grows but anxieties. This poet disturbs us with his content and pleasures us with his stark language and thoughtful formal designs. Put on your face-mask, and dig in.' - Billy Collins
