Synopsis
"In this collection we can find the mature fruits of Simpson's art surely and steadily represented. His is not a flash nor a high-octane poetry: it is the testimony of a wise, reflective imagination. These are poems which spell out, again and again, one man's encounters with a resistant, baffling world; language and rhythm are pared back to the point where nothing but truth is sought, nothing but stoicism on display." --Chris Wallace-Crabbe
"Simpson is very good, at his best, at using wit's precision to keep an edge on contemplation." -- Peter Steele, ABR
"Pruned, elegant, and with a touch of wry scepticism, the poems explore relationships, the past, aspirations and lack of fulfilment, balancing the ghosts of childhood against the fallible knowledge of the adult." --David Gilbey, ABR
