Fiona Sampson's latest collection transforms the sensory world into an astonishingly new and vivid poetry.

Combining formal sophistication with metaphysical exploration, this is an incandescent work of renewal, beauty and risk.

Reviews for The Catch
You go to Fiona Sampson for intensity, and The Catch doesn't disappoint.
Suzi Feay
Independent on Sunday
[Sampson] has an intense relationship with nature, communicated in delicate observations.
Bel Mooney
Daily Mail
A complex economy of lived feeling... She can also render complexity of feeling with the economy that marks a poet of a high order... That rich plainness is enviable
Sean O'Brien
Independent
Sampson's verse feels alive.
Leaf Arbuthnot
Times Literary Supplement
The Catch seems above all to be a narrative of mystical experience; free of God and dogma, but deeply aware of history and ecology, it may be among the pioneers of a newly emergent 21st-century incarnation of sacred poetry
