Not a word is wasted in this new collection. A poet's poet, Paul Henry gets maximum effect from minimum language. Here, words behave as they were always meant to behave, opening windows, shifting perspectives, surprising you, showing you what's been there all the time, though you'd never noticed it. In 'Ingrid's Husband', you enter a hall of mirrors. The ordinary becomes alive with possibility, comic, moving, magical, compassionate. A sense of the music of words combines with an endlessly inventive imagination to produce a fine collection. - U.A. Fanthorpe With the purity of a 16th century poet, Paul Henry lets fall his beautiful lyrics like cloaks in the mud of every day. Effortless epiphanies and images gradually break open, releasing a strange power, a dark ocean of longing and loss. His poetry deepens our perception of the world. - Hugo Williams
