Now and for a Time by John Fuller
Throughout his long and prolific career, John Fuller has been admired for the way in which he melds levity with serious reflection.
Fuller's poetry can be seen to build a bridge of boats between light verse and solemn energy with the best technique of anyone writing in Britain now -- Peter Porter
For a large number of writers.. the decisive influence -- James Fenton
Fuller has continued to write as no one doubts he can: with dry urbanity and unflappable abundance * Guardian *
Fuller is a wondefully skilled craftsman and the grace and elegance of his style is at the service of not only a sharp wit and intelligence, but a great depth of feeling * Sunday Telegraph *
In the clicking of his faultless rhyme [he] captures mortality * Daily Telegraph *
