Reviews
JOHN McCULLOUGH (Poet, winner of 2020 Hawthornden Prize for Literature) – Antony Mair’s journey along the Cuckmere Pilgrim Path is lit by a ‘flurry of sparks’. Voices from the dark burst with sudden life, illuminating past passions and dreams with verve before ‘Silence settles / like a bird / folding its wings.
GLYN MAXWELL (Poet, playwright, novelist, teacher & critic) – These poems are healing draughts for our turbulent times… Mair’s compassionate, graceful and uplifting vision lights our path through time and space.
