`… fluid, eloquent poems… Rosie Jackson has an emotional range which encompasses tragedy as well as curiosity and delight.’ Helen Dunmore
'It’s a long time since I was so enchanted with a body of poems; these haunt my imagination with their deft sleights-of-hand, shifting personae, lightly-handled depths of wit, heart-intelligence, compassion, perceptiveness. They intrigue, seduce, move, invite question. What I particularly enjoy is what gives Jackson's work its strength and rarity: her merging of the numinous with the power of the sensory world.’ Roselle Angwin
