‘Kenneth Steven has written a paradoxical and beautiful book: gentle and fierce, local and global, metaphysical and tactile’ -- Robert Macfarlane
‘I find myself dipping very naturally into the poems, which have great freshness and honesty, often amounting to a striking purity and a real grasp of the physical essence of things. They’re full of arresting phrases and images, and they’re full of heart.’ -- Graham Swift
‘Questioning, delicate, wise and full of love.’ -- Jay Griffiths
