Reviews for B (After Dante)
'Ned Denny's poems are magnificent.' - Marco Sonzogni, Dante Scholar; 'Ned Denny is a gifted troubadour who has crossed the ages' - Bernard O'Donoghue; 'A terrific and complex hybrid of the ancient and modern, shot through with flashes of surrealism and wit... allusive, elusive, dense in its diction and music.' - Nick Laird (on Unearthly Toys)
