The book is alive in the hands, no easy read, it wriggles and tries to leap away from you. I had to put it down more than once as a sentence took a turn into the brutal crepuscular silence and the rough marsh came for me. I laid down and wept.

The prose is world class, the arguments a clarion call, although not all of them recent, they chime in our daily lives still. The authentic narrative of personal experience of transition lift this book into Gospel and the poetry shakes it all back down again with metaphorical and emotional lightning strikes of shocking vigour. A great book to start the year with and a superb book to have experienced.
