    Praise for John Heath-Stubbs 'It's a reflection of Heath-Stubbs's creative generousity that he writes warmly about apparently trivial things, sometimes in a way that explores or hints at the momentous implications behind them'

    'His poetry is formidable, amiable, hugely intelligent and sacramental.'
    Times Literary Supplement.
