Reviews
The metaphysical turn in recent poetry in the UK is emphasized in Rachael Boast's second collection, Pilgrim's Flower, which recognizes that there are certain states and perceptions that shape the weather of the spirit, which poetry seems uniquely qualified to render . . . you'll see something of the diversity and ambition that marks our younger poets. -- Poetry Books of the Year * Independent *
