Review
'Her voice can be cutting as well as lyrical... Fainlight is terrific on the subject of ageing' - helen dunmore, Poetry Review 'Bright and glittering...Her work has matured elegantly, and this too is an exhilarating book ' - margaret drabble, Guardian (Books of the Year) 'The drive is towards the perception at the end. The poem feels its way forward, talking as it goes...Fainlight is concerned with the soul' - george szirtes, London Magazine 'She combines, often in one poem, the personal and the austerely detached, and excels at the uncanny note of casual recognition' - The Oxford Companion to English Literature 'One rarely meets with such exotic writing outside the pages of Wallace Stevens, and this has the advantage of being totally intelligible' - neil curry, The North
