Critics Review
Brilliant and unsettling … Bratton’s observations of Crane, mental suffering and re-entry to the world as being like the sight of the white tip of a rolling wave, are profound, moving and courageous – Nicholas Allen * Irish Times *
Francesca Bratton is a brilliant writer on Hart Crane * Shane McCrae *
I wholeheartedly recommend … this interesting, very modern and compelling, emotional reading of a poet’s life – Will Burns
