Review:
[Fuller s poetry possesses] elegant, surprising meditations on approaching death . . . the persistence of past people and things, and the liveliness of infants. A. S. Byatt, "Guardian""
"Fuller's formal skill has often led him to undertake formidable challenges. In his most recent work, a strong humanistic civic note has emerged in poems concerned with the current state of the world." --Peter Forbes, editor, Scanning the Century: The Penguin Book of the Twentieth Century in Poetry
"John Fuller is a virtuoso in whom remarkable stanzaic skill is allied to a playful intellectual stance. His work has order, clarity, empirical veracity but also a far playfulness and inventiveness." --Peter Porter, poet, Better Than God
