Folk by Tony Curtis
Tony Curtis's new collection grows out of his fascination with the everyday, the quirky, the downright extraordinary. These are poems wrapped up in love and death, friendship and memory, madness and music - with folk at the heart of every one of them. He has a wonderful ability to express great depth of feeling with deceptive simplicity.
This is a true poet with an ear for phrase and form, as well as the playful ability to think (a better word is 'dance') inside a metaphorHis sense of delight is inescapable - absolutely alive - too deliciously odd for words.A" Helena Nelson, Ambit Curtis lives on the borderline between our world and the world of the Spirits.A" The Irish Times
