“Punchy, direct, moving, but unsentimental … These are poems to admire and return to. A talent to watch.” -R. V. Bailey, author, Marking Time
‘Poems that are punchy, direct, moving, but unsentimental…These are poems to admire and return to. A talent to watch.’ - R.V. Bailey. ‘The Wedding Spy is a lucid, intelligent collection that doodles with traditional form and which scopes the poet’s own life.’ - Vic Allen, North magazine.
