‘I’ve had several intensely pleasurable readings of Human Time and it seems to me to be your most successful and complete collection, hugely varied in style, tone, verse forms (how you can play with them!) and subject-matter, and capable of inducing hilarity, astonishment, awe and sadness with the turn of a page. As always the serious sits side by side with the comic, the local with the exotic, and the reader is unclear what’s coming next, but knows that whatever it is, it will hold the interest and stimulate the senses, the tear-ducts and whatever physical mechanism triggers laughter. There are so many brilliant lines and deft turns of phrase, such a mastery of language, whether everyday, arcane or recherché. Altogether a treat to read.’
– STEPHEN STUART-SMITH, DIRECTOR OF ENITHARMON

Once again, humour is mixed with sadness and free verse with formal poetry. There are delicate poems about nature and yet human concerns remain very much to the fore.
