Last Harvest brings together poems of place, poems on religion, poems on family and friendships, and poems that rebel against the passing of the years. […] enough however here for mysteries, times to get lost on, found again, a different beauty, wilder, spread, bare and always the past put there in stone to stay "Guest has a way of making so much of what he writes read as though it is a stream of consciousness, fresh and idiosyncratic. He is an observer, a reporter who allows the reader the space to interpret - nothing is crammed down the throat - it can simply be read or, for the more adventurous, delved into to uncover the layers of meaning." -John Mingay, Stride (on Some Times) "The publication of Harry Guest's Collected Poems (A Puzzling Harvest, 2002) was something of a revelation … [It] revealed that he had gone on developing, experimenting with forms, shunning popularity, performing very little, but continuing to search - in civilised cadences, with wit and genial authority - for a moral and spiritual centre." -John Greening, Times Literary Supplement
