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