Devotedly, unostentatiously, Carcanet has evolved into a poetry publisher whose independence of mind and largeness of heart have made everyone who cares about literature feel increasingly admiring and grateful.

Everything You've Heard Is TruePeter Sansom
Praise for Peter Sansom
'Long-suppressed anger morphs into characteristic deadpan humour, a difficult trick to accomplish without appearing trite - while he's no formalist, Sansom is as highly-skilled as any contemporary poet. Peter Sansom's poetry... is full of gentle, bittersweet and funny moments, the work of a poet and person whose outlook on life is immensely engaging, engaged and likeable.'
Matthew Paul, The Friday Poem 'A serious intelligence only lightly disguised as self-mockery and expressed via devastatingly clear-sighted observation.' Yorkshire Post 'His writing gains its vitality from the tension between the desire to remember and the necessity of moving on.' Poetry Review 'A congenial writer, whose usually informal metrical sense is, nevertheless, decisive and intuitively informed.' Times Literary Supplement 'Personal, political, powerful' Morning Star |
