'Beneath the elegance and refinement of Lawrence Sail's artistry is the ever-present undertow - the current below the aesthetic surface, moving in a contrary direction to that of the surface current, and it is this that gives the poems their authority and depth of vision' - Catherine Beeston, Critical Survey. 'There is a shimmering quality to Sail's sensibility which moves ... Read moreeasily between sharply focused observations of the particulars of object and place, the play of light on the locally loved and known, and a constant alertness to larger climates and movements - close and subtle looking and a rich, playful use of language are the tools by which discoveries are made' - Peter Scupham, PN Review.
