Reviews
"Robinson's attentiveness to the nuances of place, even those that appear unpromising on conventional aesthetic terms, has been apparent since his very earliest work and poems here like 'Across the Park', 'Toast Funebre' and 'Behind the Shops' are further examples of this - acute observations of the modern human landscape that excavate meaning from what's typically overlooked or ignored and connects it into the broader state we're in." - Tom Phillips, in The High Window
