Gravel in my Shoe by John Fuller
'The only peace: to know my place And what I now must do, Striding with the light full in my face, And gravel in my shoe.' Bright, elemental and as dexterously brilliant as ever, John Fuller's latest collection takes as its subject 'our ends and our origins'.
The free-wheeling, conversational, frequently didactic tone suits Fuller perfectly, enabling him to comment on art as well as life-- John Greening * Times Literary Supplement *
