'This is a poetry of mindfulness, of balance, and of measure. A poetry that is at home in Nepal or at the football, in a Buddhist monastery or in Brunswick. A realism – that has its feet in the backyard and its head in the clouds.' - Pi O

'Reading these economical and elegant poems is like wandering in a forest where the trees, though lean of branch and leaf, cast a paradoxically large amount of shade. And always to the ear the bubbling of a mirthful snowmelt stream … Refreshing. Unique. A joy.' - Mal McKimmie

'Bountiful poems that show how sheerness is still unmatched when it comes to tangling with immensity.' - Toby Davidson

'Lucid and spare, these poems alight in consciousness the way sunlight caresses a leaf.' - Patricia Sykes
