Ghosts by John Fuller
Like the possible phantoms that stalk the dark passageways of its title poem, John Fuller's beautifully lucid collection explores the grey area between life and death.
"I have much admired and enjoyed John Fuller's collection of poems GhostsHe contemplates age and death with a kind of glee and surprised intelligence that I find very sympathetic" -- A.S. Byatt * New Statesman *
"Elegant, surprising meditations on approaching death - the persistence of past people and things, and the liveliness of infants" * Guardian *
"Fuller is a wonderfully 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 *
"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
