Reviews

Si Philbrook holds a rare voice, one that speaks the joy of discovery and the pain of experience with equal wonder. This is poetry of our times.
Kiersty Boon, author of The Poet Busker

Si Philbrook's poems come with sharpened edges and unadorned utterings. Philbrook's unflinching pen asks us Who will stop this fucking clock. Read it. You will never find a dull moment in this book.
Kushal Poddar, author of The Circus Came To My Island

Si Philbrook manages to continuously paint pictures without materials and deliver the necessary tucked in between so many lines and stanzas. In short, Ordinary Words is that gift we always wanted to treat ourselves with. Go on
Gene Barry, author of Unfinished Business and organizer ofThe Fermoy International Poetry Festival

All there is, all we will remember, Is the gentleness of moment. 'Ordinary Words' is none less than extraordinary.
Don MacIver, author of Journeys in Verse and A touch of Rose
