His range is wide, including the First World War, in which he served as an infantry private, the passionate celebration of his native Gloucestershire, and fears of the mental imbalance which led to his eventual confinement in a mental hospital.

D.J. Enright, Observer"A body of work which is extremely powerful...a significant landmark in literary history."
Times Literary Supplement"These are poems that tell us we are in the presence of a great poet...An exemplary edition."
Donald Davie, The London Review of Books"Excellent...These poems are a revelation. This book should at least establish that strange, uncomfortable, and neglected poet to rank with his contemporaries Wilfred Owens and Edward Thomas."
David Wright, Sunday Telegraph
