The Invention of Zero by Chris Greenhalgh
Chris Greenhalgh's distinctive third collection is a book of sensuous meditations on time and mortality, love and art. At its heart is a suite of prose poems. Intimate in tone, formally experimental and lyrically charged, they pick up and develop threads from his title, The Invention of Zero.
Entertaining and bizarre.. When Chris Greenhalgh gets it right, which he often does, he is very good indeed. -- Nick Laird * Times Literary Supplement *
Sheer brilliance of language carries its own zest in easy intimacy. Greenhalgh writes with all his senses alert. -- Bill Turner * Poetry Review *
