I'm not sure this book's doing the same thing, although you never know." -Steve Ely</p><p><br></p><p>"Steve Ely is one of the most exhilarating poets currently working in the UK."</p><p> -Katy Evans Bush, <em>Poetry International</em></p><p> </p><p>"Ely's poetry is passionately political, positively partisan ... a major talent."</p><p> -Keith Richmond, <em>Tribune</em></p><p> </p><p>"Steve Ely has one of the strongest lines around, compounding scriptural weight and northern realism. He has also reclaimed history as poetry's subject."</p><p> -Peter Riley, <em>Fortnightly Review</em></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
