'The power and precision of his best poems are a delight, and as a first collection Death of a Naturalist is outstanding. His subject is those things which are inherent or inherited. What he praises is to be praised in his own work.'
Christopher Ricks, New Statesman
'We confidently expect him to broaden his range and our imaginative estate.'
John Hewitt, Belfast Telegraph
'The full-blooded energy of these poems makes Death of a Naturalist the best first book of poems I've read for some time.'
C. B. Cox, Spectator
'His childhood landscape has acquired the validity of myth.' Michael Longley, Irish Times
Now, to pry into roots, to finger slime,
To stare big-eyed Narcissus, into some spring
Is beneath all adult dignity. I rhyme
To see myself, to set the darkness echoing.
