Praise for Aidan's previous book,
There Will Be Singing (Shearsman Books 2020) “There’s an exuberance of the poet in full stride. Typically, the phrasing and imagery are seductive and of the physical world being lived. Learning is carried lightly, erudition not pushed at the reader but drawn into the lyricism.” — Kelvin Corcoran “thoughtful and stimulating ... a fascinating book which I’m sure you’ll want to read more than once” — Steve Spence in Stride magazine “I devoured it in a single sitting. Now I'm reading it again, one poem a night, to savour what you have achieved.” — Brian Marley |
