Description
“[A] poet of technical mastery, sharp intelligence and profound thought… There is a grand sense of the universal in these keenly crafted, erudite pieces.” — Maria Johnston, Poetry Ireland Review
“His work has a sense of the contemporaneity of the past, of the ghosts that dwell among us…. Allen has the patience and refinement of a restorer, stripping down the familiar layers of hackneyed surface to show a world characterised by breathtaking colours and textures underneath…. Dip into this collection and its undertow soon drags you underwater”
— Jonathan Ellis, Metre
