In Kevin Crossley-Holland's first new collection of poems for six
years, time and thought and memory - the breath of life - are the
prevailing winds, while much of the ground it inhabits is the
'heavenly squelch' of his own north Norfolk where 'the word on the
tip of your tongue may be sacramental'. "Crossley-Holland uncovers
not only words but an entire landscape which haunts and is rich in
echoes." - Helen Dunmore, The Observer "His language has been honed
by the Norfolk and Suffolk climate itself, and has the polish of
split flint." - Ronald Blythe "His poetry is accessible yet
uncompromisingly contemporary..." - John Greening, Country Life "It
takes a pause in the familiar current of one's consciousness to
come to one's accustomed place afresh and - as Eliot put it - 'know
the place for the first time'. [...] The ability to see the essence
behind the appearance is an art in which Crossley-Holland has few,
if any, equals." - Grahame Davies, Book 2.0
