“This unperturbed, unenvious and compassionate poet of doubt, common experience, and the search for truth has a reverence for the vastness around us and stands on the brink of eternity wondering whether it will be day, twilight, or night when we are dead.  He is the John Clare of the building estates, and as true to them as was Clare to the fields and trees of Northamptonshire.”
