Description: Debut collection of poems by poet and English teacher Ross Thompson, from Bangor, County Down
Review Quotes:
"A stunning debut. Here are poems rich in the language of intimacy, of light and shade. Thompson is delicate, adept and courageous; he is unflinching and honest. We need such poetry." -- Maria McManus
"Here is a voice that can deliver a poem with authority and mischief, an engaging wink and a nudge. Thompson's frames of reference are startling but never obfuscate the poet's quest to find the bullion phrase. Experience and imagination are buckled tightly into well-wrought rhythms. The grave and the humorous are shaped with ease on the lathe of Thompson's pen." -- Mel McMahon
