Reviews
'Zoe Skoulding's magisterial new book A Marginal Sea offers us a pentathlon of innovative forms in which we find expressionist typography, haibun, calendrical prognostications, a poignant soliloquy by the bird-haunted Odysseus, and striking passages of sheer lyric beauty. This is a book that makes you feel, as it lengthens your wingspan, glad to be alive.' - Forrest Gander
